once more, i am heading north of the border this summer to see some kind of dramatic endeavor, drink a pint of guiness or two and possibly have an awkward conversation with mark watson. today two small children and accompanying grandparents came for tea, lego instruction (i stood tall) and sneezing. i have started writing lists which means that i am restless i think, but it is highly unlikely that i will finish everything as i have had the audacity to include "- unpack".
