Back in my bed tonight

Last night Beth and I slept in a tent in the garden. Beth had been very excited about the idea of camping (perhaps fuelled by the Swallows and Amazons books that Kate has been reading to her). Andrew kindly lent us his tent, and Beth and I had a pleasant night outside. It did make me very aware how bright the streetlights are, and the traffic noise on the Crail road.

Beth has been particularly enjoying Scooby-Doo recently. CBBC has been showing the early-2000s series What’s New Scooby-Doo?, which is a return to the classic Scooby-Doo format. One of the episodes featured a camp (in the American school-child sense), and mentioned “s’mores”, a food I’d vaguely heard of. Research suggested that they could easily be approximated at home, so we toasted marshmallows over Andrew’s BBQ, and squidged them between Hovis digestives, with a layer of Nutella. The others seemed to enjoy them; I didn’t bother as I’m not fond of marshmallows.
