I had thought that our sleeping patterns would get back to something
like normality when we came home but we're still sleeping in until 9 o'clock
most mornings and then taking another hour to have breakfast. Still, if there
is something pressing to be done, we wake earlier. Clearly our body clocks can
adjust themselves to suit our changing lifestyles.
It's been a busy week overall. I had meetings
on three evenings and each one took some preparation. I'm getting my head
around the Craft Fair organisation again and starting to tick off what needs to
be done at this stage. Entries have started to roll in already.
It's only six weeks until I leave for the UK
and I suppose I should be tying up all the loose ends. Flights are booked,
travel insurance is in place and I'm now looking at the logistics of getting
from one place to another. Train seems to be the most interesting option from
Heathrow to Glasgow when I arrive - tube from Terminal 4 to Kings Cross, short
walk to Euston and Virgin Express to Glasgow. I know I'll be tired but I love
trains and it will give me a chance to see some of the countryside on the way.
I'll hire a car for the trip up to the East
Coast and I'll continue on from there for few days in the highlands. Somebody
has put me on to the Travelodge chain of cheap hotels. They're not like our
Travelodge; they're more like Formule 1, but only about $30 per night. Sounds
good to me.
I'm getting quite excited about the trip. It
will be funny travelling without Marilyn but I know she would find the long
flight difficult and that would spoil it for her. Maybe another time we will
find a ship which will take us to Europe in comfort. The Dawn Princess, leaving
on July 13th,
will take us to Venice for $5000, but we can't afford the time this year. If
there's something similar in 2014, who knows.
Today's program includes blackberry picking.
It's very windy but warm; couldn't be better.
