We have half an hour before we leave so I should empty the dishwasher, packed to the brim from last night's cooking. 

Done.

The crows are very loud in our trees. Hubby is done his shower. He takes an hour less to an hour and a half less now that he does not eat junk food anymore...

So less than 2 hours now, about 1.45 hour. This is better. An hour would be ideal. 

I have ordered my seringue and needles and I hope there is no issue with it. It should be here within 2 weeks I suppose.
