Seattle?

Take one sleeping area in a tent without an airbed.

Add one screaming child about four pitches away who would not be consoled.

Add a duck down pillow which evades your head and then turns into an object with the thickness of an A3 bit of paper.

Add two duvets spread out under you which are as flat as pancakes.

Add a section of ground upon which the tent is set up which is as soft as concrete.

Add an occupant in the tent next door (number 47) who is snoring.

Add a slight spattering of rain at silly o clock this morning.

Add a group of birds (feathered) who had not been told that dawn chorus is cancelled at the weekends.

Take all of the above items, add them together and you have got an alternative location for the film "Sleepless in Seattle"

I have come to the conclusion that I like the bathroom and bedroom to be in the same establishment, especially when my body dictates it needs the bathroom at six am and it is wet outside.

And somehow we have to get this tent down in a way which will minimise it being damp packed and be off the campsite by 11am.

Not quite sure the logistics of that are going to tie up somehow. And after having a lousy night's sleep, I'm not sure I care.
