Saturday 20th October and I'm busy...
Its a bright warm and sunny start. Was a good night again last night at the Ryther arms with our kid, Elaine and Brad, Carol and Sharon with Alana and Con and Margaret. I am now [today] on a self imposed diet after eating 20oz fillet steak, cooked to perfection, with more trimmings than I could have shaken a stick at. Burp! So today is orange juice, and not a lot else. I think I've got enough beef inside of me for the rest of the week.
A bit 'mad' this morning is an understatement. Up at 06:30, Started washing. Out at 07:30 to Alcuin and cleared another load of garden rubbish to the tip. Van was back at Enterprise for 9am and I'm back home for 09:30 and… more washing. Got a haircut and some stationary bits from the post office and back home. More washing. And finally started to pack. And then… yep...
I'm beginning to learn, in that : 1. Do the washing before the day you go on holiday and 2. Do a pre pack to make sure no problems before you go on holiday. But all done for 12ish and I think I have everything - I have my credit card and passport so if something does occur then well, I have a credit card and passport.
12 till some time just before the taxi arrived at 2pm I did the worlds quickest email handover update for Colin (manager) and the team. Work for sure grabs you by the balls if you let it - and I do. But all work is turned off now for 3 weeks with emergency contact only via another mobile number if needed. I intend to stay out of 'normal' contact for the duration except for this blog.
Just passing through Doncaster (again) on the train. And It's just struck me..
I'm on HOLIDAY BABY! :-)))
Some adventurers ahead… the first probably US customs tomorrow evening.
ps, Staying at the Aurora hotel. Room rate was good but food is crap and expensive. 35 quid for a couple of beers and a chicken salad. Oh dear, captive customer and all that…
6am Sunday I'll be up and on the move ...
Speak soon
