all going well, my boy Liam is going to China on a school trip in October. at the first information meeting tonight there was a lot, and i mean a lot, said about how boys and girls will have separate accommodation, about how there will be constant supervision in hotels, about how nobody will accidentally end up in the wrong room.

it was hilarious. on a high school trip, by a government school, this stuff goes without saying. i would never even question it. that is how i would expect it to be.

i know it is tempting. i know some might test the boundaries but not for a second would i even bother to ask about the policy. we all know the policy. dont we???????

just before the flight leaves i would dearly love to run breathlessly up to my boy, waving a box and loudly say "you nearly forgot your condoms"
