Packing

 With Jasper away at his Spa, there was no worry about interruptions to our night's sleep. The alarm was switched off, and a lie-in was on the cards. Well, it was until I woke up to check the plumbing at 03:45 and failed to go back to sleep on my return to bed. In the end, soon after 05:00, I was up and nursing a coffee in the kitchen. I used the time to tinker with my presentation for the Inspiration Day, and to have a long chat with Gemini-AI regarding the implementation of AI in enterprises and the impact on my old career. It was very interesting, and I felt that the time had been well spent.

Di wandered down before seven, and wrapped herself around a cup of tea while I headed for the shower. I had my usual call with the cousins a bit later. It seems that Tim is also off travelling this weekend. He's heading for Calahonda. I do hope he enjoys it. I wasn't blown away by the village, but I did like the area and the various places we visited when there.

With the call finished, I set about packing. I have deliberately packed lighter than last year, as I have realised that the nature of river cruises allows a more casual approach. With the packing complete, I went to Zoe's. Di was already there, helping out by washing the floor downstairs. I took the vacuum cleaner and went through the bedrooms, bathrooms, landing, and stairs.

Back home, Di started on the final selection for her packing. I spent the time sorting out the cables and chargers that we would need and completing the last of the paperwork. We managed a bit of Kindle time during the afternoon. 

It will be an early start in the morning, but I think we are well-prepared.
