Last minute repairs

I noticed yesterday that the new plumbing to a hose tap in back of the house had a little leak. John worked on it a little this morning, and five hours later we are hoping when we turn the water back on there won't be a fountain back there. Always going to be something. Leaving in 20 minutes, car's all packed, garden watered, sheets and towels clean for M, twiddling our thumbs, a little on edge here. What have we forgotten?

But the fact is that whatever we've forgotten, and there's bound to be something, we'll be able to take care of it almost as easily as if we were here. Twenty years ago that would not have been the case.
