Planning ahead...

While waiting to fall asleep last night (which I found rather difficult - it was the 1st night in a week that I hadn't had the assistance of an antihistamine to induce sleep), I realised that our really busy half of the year is about to start (as it has been for the past 3 years). It starts with Peter's birthday at the end of this month; school holidays in July; then we have both Joanna's birthday and our annual snow holiday in August; followed soon after by 3 weeks back in Brisbane for holiday/work (QCS marking); October is more school holidays and Naomi's birthday; November is Ben's birthday and mine and then as you are all aware December is school holidays and Christmas.
