Sometimes in the quiet before the kids wake up I lie in bed pondering life's great mysteries.
Is there life after death?
How on earth is Trump still a presidential candidate?
What colour is that infernal dress?
Where is that bloody panda?
Where am I going?
Mostly I wonder about my destination in a metaphorical sense, but this morning my musings are of a more geographical nature.
This morning four of my mates and I are headed to the airport but only one of us knows where we are headed. The rest of us will find out when we see the departure board.
I love surprises! That's another thing about being an adult that no one warns you about. Past twenty you just about have to get yourself knocked up to have a genuine surprise.*
Last year my sister-wife Susan surprised us all by organising a little Sunday session with Darryl Braithwaite.
This year it's Sonia's turn.
We're headed to the airport this morning. If you're as keen as I am to know our destination, check out Instagram and I'll let you know as soon as I do.
do you love surprises?
any guesses where we're going?
* clarification: I love grownup surprises, not the Monday morning kind of surprises that come out of lunch boxes that weren't unpacked on Friday afternoon.

Robyna says
Sounds like so much fun! Have a complete ball. Unfortunately surprises around here seem limited to the lunch box kind you mentioned.

How exciting! I used to take Mystery Flights with one of my friends all the time it was fantastic. That was back when I loved surprises, I don't hate them but I like to know and be prepared. I think the new me needs to let go more and enjoy the surprises. Although now that I actually only remember day to day (as in the period while I am awake - then I forget when I am asleep and start the next day all over again 4yrs ago!) in some respect every day is a surprise!
Hope you have the most amazing time!

What an excellent idea - for a Mummy that plans every movement in our household it would be divine to be 'surprised'. Enjoy! x
