I am almost too tired to write. It is only 8 PM, but I've been kicking around ideas of heading to bed early. Last night, Fiona and I camped out in the backyard of one of Fiona's friends. It was a wonderful time and I posted a picture of the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich preparations over the campfire this morning.

In the afternoon, we all went over to the club for a swim. They have an outdoor pool that will be closing next weekend. Several friends showed up and we had some nice long chats poolside. Back at the house, Fiona and I did her weekly radio show. We were both pretty tired, so it may not have been the best show. This was further complicated by Fiona's calls constantly getting dropped. This is about the third episode where this has been a problem, and we've filed a problem report with BlogTalkRadio. We shall see what they find.

We still need to bake the cake for Kim's birthday. I think it will be best to wait until the morning to do this. I'm just too tired to be able to concentrate properly on making a cake this evening. I am hoping that Fiona will want to help, but she may want to rush over to her papa and nana's house since her cousin's are visiting.

It is getting close to cider making season again, and I've been learning more about aging hard cider and thinking about what I'll try to do this year. I hope to have a blog post up soon about this. Also, Kim got a Nook for her birthday. I've been spending time looking more closely at the nook, as well as using the N900 as an ereader and various sources for ebooks online. This is another blog post that I hope to get up soon.

I never did get my first of the month blog post up, so that remains in the queue and I also need to think about my music monday post for Labor day, a couple days after the notification date for my SonicBids request.

Yet all of these will have to wait until I am better rested. I hope readers from the States are having a great three day weekend. More soon...
