2 WEEKS PRIOR
Was feeling spaced out. Alone. It was weird having like to do it all on my own. From concept to implementation but at the same time locked up doing nothing. Ben Webb came to the rescue and we chatted over a coffee and put together a plan.
At that stage I think we had about 20RSVPs. Added a few people we knew would be there and settled on planning on 40.
Peter Hayes from Centenary rowing swung past and by happenchance had 5 tables and a few chairs that he dropped off. This was lucky because we did hire some tables but they were pretty scungy.
Totted up the RSVPs and we were pushing 90. Little panic. It's a small house with only one toilet.
FRIDAY
Sanity check at rowing Friday morning and a couple of star pickets and a tarp were suggested. In the end, ducked off and picked up a porta loo.
Henry and James came over and helped mightily. We did some more shopping. Discovered one can not buy plastic glasses anymore. Got paper. Unfortunately no real tech progress in that area so they go soggy.
Friday night - fish and chips at James' airbnb. AC non functional.
SATURDAY
SUNDAY
Early- observed we had 16 RSVPs for the family lunch. Only 12 places booked.
7:30am coaching at Centenary. 2 kids in a double.
9:30 called the regatta. Computers down. Asked to call back in an hour.
Back home and cleaning up.
10:40 called regatta. Advised all ok.
12:00 Chris and I shared a car, collected Jemma and onto the regatta for family lunch.
