Day 12: 11 o'clock

We did baking today. Ginger & nut loaf and chocolate kiwi in sticks. It was great fun.

My brothers send off was actually quite nice last night. A bit emotional at the end. I know they're going to miss the kids and are gutted they won't see them regularly enough to notice all their little changes. My mum came too and we cleared the air and moved on. I feel much brighter about things, knowing my brother isn't leaving with a load of unfinished business behind him. Life is too short.

I've just finished my first double exercise sessions. Run boot camp followed by a rainy circuit session. My overriding emotion right now is that I wish I'd cut my toenails before I went. Ouchie!
