I am packed (have I forgotten anything?), I have checked in online (I've never done this before, I am kind of sceptical that it will work, and I am loading my mp3 player up with TV that I missed while I was away before, and now all I have to do is manage to stay awake until 2.30am and get the bus to the airport.

We have been playing Shakespeare charades. I think the way you're meant to play is that you read out some quotes minus the bolded words (like "if music be the food of love play on") and people have to guess what the missing words are. If they can't guess, you mime them. We are playing charades with the entire quotes. There has been one quote I recognise at all so far - they are all things like "I love long life more than figs" and "revel the night; rob murder and steal, commit the oldest sins in new ways", which are really quite hard to act out. It is both exasperating and brilliant.

Heh, the game sounds fun - not to say almost impossible! :-)

I hope you have a safe journey, and a fabulous time there.

We had to invent a new mime thing to mean "it is an old fashioned version of that word". It started off as pretending to be a bird, plucking a feather from your arm/wing and writing with it, and now it is sort of just the plucking and writing. Which half the time we still think is "writing in blood".

Happy travelling!

I think I would be rubbish at Shakespeare charades but would probably have enormous fun being so.
