Three weekends to go

How different are we men from they women.

Here we are at almost 22 weeks, half-way through, and before us are vast rolling acres of time before D-Day. Tons of time to prepare, to buy the kit, sort the house out...

Not really. Though it is no cause for panic, if we assume Toblet might arrive from 36 weeks onwards (ie two weeks earlier than the earliest predicted date), then we have 14 weeks to go. Which translates into slightly over three months. Sounds OK, Yes?

Now put it into weekends: twelve. One weekend fishing, one weekend seeing the fossils, one weekend seeing sister-in-law already booked. One weekend up in town to buy missing kit. One weekend each seeing Verity and Liz (my sisters). Leaves six weekends to ourselves, and three of them are accounted for already with a two-week holiday.

Due date fast approaching. Three weekends to go.
