Chris - this was a favourite saying of my Mother although i do not know origins - your Ma gives me history and literature vivas and has deemed me an ignoramus -not true! as i have read 3 history books this holiday.
we have spent morning cleaning and packing - it is a very modern appt so we have little to do and they do little at QQ.
It is 90 degrees today so we are doing nothing other than i am going to have a swim this afternoon -we have a fantastic pool
No BA strike -both Angela ( book on BMI) and yourself (book hotel) were sensible as i had not considered - after 23 hours you do not need further hassle . During last strike a friend arrived from NZ and had 6 hour coach journey to Manchester .
Yesterday we went to Botany bay - La Peruse - and had a seafood platter overlooking beach. It is great location and wouldn't you all have liked beach and sea . Cook was a genius when you are here - it is such a long way from Whitby
I saw photos of A&Ao when Michael was with you . They could have been in Ottawa as it looked so cold and overcast so hope spring is here . Apparently the winter has been horrendous.
Angela told me news about Phils dog - the last spaniel we had in house never stopped whining - still your ma will be happy as she love dogs and worked out we would hardly be without one as perennial dog sitters for family. If we were back we would have had Maggie .
Health wise i take things in my stride fortunately and never phased although BA would need Royal medical proclamation to fly if they knew . I will try to get help with lifting although steak etc obviously bringing up Hb so not too tired . There is no point in assistance as i can walk OK but have to lug luggage from hire cat etc
We may be down in QQ soonish as i have to send new TV back to John Lewis - you all may like to come over for day as before at weekend. I will be driving jag. We have some little presents for kids and would like to see you all . Ma hopes they all liked postcards with animal's
James is away - he promised me he would go to Kilham for weekend at half term - we shall see as i do not like it empty over winter for 4 months.
Angela is yo yo ing around colleges and uni for Anna and Adam . As she says the weather of Santa Barbara after Ottawa would be great attraction for Adam.
Haven't they all grown up quickly - did you see photos of Montreal - the elegance of all - Angela always a million dollars dresses and kids in designer clothes -it looked a very nice family occasion -lets hope we have same in Italy - you will have to book flights - I will probably get larger hire car as we are going a week early .
Last night we went to Opera House - a Gershwin evening but really french song and dance in almost nudity -for 220$ plus parking it was rubbish. i am going to complain.
well tonight we are having a meal in Kings Cross with backpacker Nicola and leave 11.30 in morning - i will watch a little golf from Master today.
