Â My mother in law's coming to visit next month, and suggested she look after Nim while my darling wife and I go away for a weekend. But on the other hand, we live in the city that attracts more weekend visitors than any other in the world, so I might just suggest we go and live in a hotel for a couple of days and do stuff here.

Give you a chance to experience life a little. I've had flatmates that were geniuses on paper but didn't know how to set up a standing order on their bank account. Or manage the utility bills. Or buy food and cook for themselves.

Funkstain wrote:We did this cool thing that probably everyone who goes there has done but it was still cool. You hike all the way down to the bottom and stay the night in a shed. Then you wake up at 5am and hike all the way back out again. On the way up it started raining, which turned into snow as we climbed higher, which turned into a blizzard near the top. Was very exciting. We barely met anyone either on the way down or up (but it was January 3rd).Yup, I think we'll go there too.
