Have downloaded three - um, what do you call them? - read aloud books? To keep me happy on the drive. Plus two books for kindle. That's as well as four paperbacks and two library books. I'm not going to get through all of those obviously but I like to be prepared, hence the knicker equation. (Number of knickers to pack = number of days x 2 + 3 spare.*)

Today is GCSE result day and GrandDaughter1 has done well and got the grades she needs to go to sixth form college. She had a few difficult years in senior school so I am especially pleased for her.
Apparently it's now a thing for the year below to go in and get their grades as well, as they count towards the final result of next year's GCSE exams. So GrandSon1 also got good grades and is well on course for next year.

There's only been a tiny bit of rainfall but already the back lawn looks greener and I swear the grass has grown.

Husband has been very productive these last couple of days. He's made twelve jars of tomato chutney, four jars of fig chutney, and four jars of fig jam, all from home-grown tomatoes and figs.
*Maybe a slight exaggeration. (And I can never remember if it's one 'r' and two 'g's or vice versa.)

I just pack one pair of knickers per day plus one spare. Hope springs eternal I won't even need the spare.
I don't know what I imagine will happen!
Physically go in to get grades? I'll have to ask, but I don't think so here.
I usually take five pairs of underwear, and have a dedicated stack for vacations that dries quickly so I can wash it out in the sink if necessary. When we visit the kids I take advantage of the washer and dryer.
Having extra books is a must just in case you don’t like the first one you start. And since they take up no extra room to pack it’s a bonus
I love audio books for when I'm walking the dog. I also take in a couple of podcasts on my travels.
In Germany we call them Audiobooks
I like read aloud books. I always just call them audio books, but I am forever changing it to real alouds.
Read alouds are for those who cant read.
