Things we lost on holiday

The next section of my parents' visit concerns our holiday to Queensland.  However, I feel it's important to be honest and give you some understanding of a typical Oates family holiday.  I therefore present the following list of the things we lost on holiday:

1. My passport*.  
2. My parents' passports
3. My glasses
4. My dad's glasses
5. My dad's camera
6. My dad's hat
7. My engagement ring
8. Jan's patience with this ridiculous family who lose everything
9. My mother

But you can all breathe safely - we pretty much found everything again.

* I had put it in a safe place.  You know the one - it's so safe even you don't know where it is.
