Fasta Pasta!

So, you're ready to go then, son?

The preparation is about to start in earnest... . Alex has asked to be fed more from now on - and actually admitted to being thoroughly full up after supper tonight. Result! As long as I don't get tempted to increase my food intake as well... ! So it's pasta all the way from now in our house, lots of fluids (excluding alcohol, naturally), more pasta and more pasta.

Following last year's experience with the delights of Travelodges, etc, I discovered that the kettles are woefully tiny. I had to boil ours 4 times on the first day to be able to fill one flask for coffees! So I am adding a cheap kettle to my shopping list for tomorrow - it will come in handy when Alex goes to university in the Autumn for his tea parties (he does like a good cup of Earl Grey).

So a good night's sleep is needed before a day of preparation, packing and cooking tomorrow.

PS I wonder if there are any pasta-based breakfast cereals so that we can keep up the carbs at every meal?
