It’s not that we’re wimps, we maybe, it’s just that we see no point in cycling in the wet wondering if we will be able to dry out by this evening.

Also if we move, can we find somewhere dry for tonight.

We don’t have a fixed deadline so moving or staying makes no difference, except staying we keep dry.

The todo list is all clear, so it’s off to the airport we go.

Having rushed around, we’ll rushed may be an overstatement, all the tasks completed it was in the car to the airport.

We didn’t have to worry about parking thanks to the taxi service of sister Jenny.

The long wait to get away continued as we arrived 6 hours early for our flight. Thankfully we have lounge access and luckily we both do not drink as all the alcohol on offer would have been too tempting.

There was a large range of beers, wines and bubbles, but only one tap for water although that one tap served hot, cold and sparkling water.

We heard the call for our flight and realised that the lounge had completely emptied out, we were the only ones left.

So it was rush to the boarding area just to join all the other passengers waiting to board.

There time remaining is going sooo slowly.

I’ve cleared the notice board of jobs to be done, only to have it filled up again.

Some of the jobs may seem strange, but there’s a reason for all of them.

Dis-arm mouse traps. As it’s getting cooler here we have had a couple of mice checking the place out. Not wanting any new tenants we placed mouse traps around the house. They seem to have done the job of discouraging them, but we don’t want top come back to traps containing rotting mouse remains.

Empty tea pot. Last time we went away for a week or two we forgot this task and came back to a colourful growth on the tea. I wonder if this was how penicillin was discovered.

When the list is cleared hopefully the last task will be negative and we are allowed allowed to get away.

The waiting will soon be over, hopefully.

Today was a much better day for walking, we could actually see where we were going and also had views across the valleys. At one point we were stopped by a fellow walker who pointed out the hills covered in trees, very much like either New Zealand or the UK, neither of us really understood her excitement.
