0100: The local church bell tolls. Time for some last minute checks: Have we got the insurance sorted? Yes. Do we have a carnet? Don't need one. Must remember to take my driving licence.
0200: Gemima the dog sighs in her sleep. More last minute checks: filming permits; flights; excess baggage; phone charger and MP3 player all present and correct.
0400: Seagull squawks outside. Clean dinner suit? Spare contact lenses? Razor blades? Hmmm, need more.
0600: Coffee machine gurgles. Up and about.
The girls pottered off to Tottenham Court Road this morning to buy a Sony A1 HD, which I am told is the Aston-Martin of small hand-held HDV camcorders. We will only be using this camera for underwater filming, in-air filming and anything involving cars! It is a very expensive piece of kit, but very necessary.

Tim with his new baby
Today is research day. Monaco maybe the second smallest principality in the world (after the Holy See, the Vatican) but it has a recorded history dating back to 43 BC when Julius Caesar moored his ships there awaiting Pompey.
I could write for hours about Monaco but will leave it for Thursday when we are actually there.
2200: After final meetings with the crew; BED!
Weather: Sunny but sticky.
Song of the Day: Harvest Moon (Neil Young)
