It's been a quiet few days with not much happening. Jamie pops in most days, a friend and his wife called in on Thursday and the cleaning lady spent an hour or two tidying up yesterday, but that's about the extent of our socialising. Our Probus clubs start their regular meetings next week and we're visiting the Deloraine Club at their annual Garden Part so our social life will take a turn for the better very soon.
In the meantime, we amuse ourselves reading and so on. I've discovered a new face on Youtube (well, new to me). His name is Noel Philips and he's a pom but lives in Texas. The first clip I saw was a trip to he took on Greyhound buses the whole length of the USA. I forget how long it took but the trip was horrendous: cancelled buses, drivers not turning up, appalling treatment of, mostly, black passengers and so on. It's the less well-off who have to use the buses and they are certainly treated like second-class citizens.
The clip I watched this morning was of an eighty-hour trip around the world using only low-cost airlines. It all worked but his conclusion was that Jetstar was the worst of them all. Makes you feel all patriotic, doesn't it!
