If you have ever travelled anywhere for an extended period of time, you'll remember that the weeks before leaving involve many 'lasts'. This week has seen a series of 'lasts' for us. Last paddle, last sleep in our cosy beds, last snuggle with our cat, last movie on the big screen TV, last visits with friends, last of the cheese and butter... Does this week of 'lasts' prepare us for all the 'firsts' to come about? This week has seen some pretty inventive meal planning, as I have been trying to eat up the remains of the pantry. Heath has fondly been eating dinners from his bachelor days- cans of  soup mixed with carbs and vegetables. Random freezer food. Will these last homemade meals be remembered fondly as we are eating unknown asian items? Time will tell.
