Lechlade

A sunny Saturday (idbi, I don't believe it) we went to Lechlade on Thames but stayed mainly on the Wiltshire side, straying over the border in our boat and for the sausage & chips.
A great hour was spent going upstream in a little motorboat. This was followed by a pinic and a chance for Lennon to run around.

I don't believe it transport & us

For the family trip to see the Artic Monkeys, we hired a limo, we were honored to have the West One, Hummer to take us to Newport. Great fun was had with the passing motorists on the journey, the Severn Bridge charged us the car rate £4.90!!
Having arrived and after dropping us off the driver went intoMcDonald'ss for his tea and came back to find that the drivers window elbowed in and his personal Sat Nav pinched idbi. The thief was caught but the Tom Tom had disappeared and he was left to windy, noisy & cold trip home, to face an angry boss!!

St Christopher takes the same weeks holiday as us

It all starts with the pointless success of being among the 1st to check in, as we were all put on a bus and the later check-ins ended up boarding the plane first. (& why don't they insist, for speed that, the back seats are filled first?). Flight leaves for Barcelona around 7.30 having defrosted the wings, cabin was a bit cold but pilot said the heating system would be fully working soon. 40 mins into flight, had Jon's sat nav gone wrong? had the sun risen on the wrong side of the world? no we were heading back to Luton!! The pilot claimed he could see out of the windscreen. It was a bit more serious problem me thinks! as on landing in Luton all fire engines were out of their station, scary!
A new aircraft was required, as it happened it was right next to where we are parked (hum?). Luggage and us transferred seats all mixed up again. Arrive Barcelona midday (2 hours late
) Andy was waiting with taxi forRichards, what a welcome sight.

Trip to Port Aventura by train, was the cheapest and quickest option requiring an early start so to be there for opening time. The Tourist Info people suggested the 8.15 (however the timetable given with tickets suggested 8.00 or 8.30, the 8.15 was a ghost train).

Today the timetable meant nothing, a strike by some train staff , thankfully not 100% observed but options were limited, no info in English so got wrong train, returned to Sants (that's S ants) station rushed to catch the next one some hour after planned.
Great Day but tired.
Got to platform at 6.50 for return journey no train for an hour, there should have been 3!!

Surely the home flight would be okay apart from late change of gate to another 500 metres away the flight arrived at Luton early 11.40 pm. Through passport control awaiting for luggage one announcement after about 15 mins sorry for the delay. The whole flight waited & waited, then nearly an hour later it appeared where had it been? on the wrong flight?

I don't believe it, that we could be so unlucky to go on holiday the same week as St Christopher and he didn't go to Spain.

April Fool

Laura was the butt of the foolery today, starting off with tied shoe laces and the toes of her shoes stuffed with tissue. Then she went out to her car, it had gone! the usual and predictable shock. Laura was recommended to look down the road behind the people carriershe found it. Her troubles were not over unfortunately her acr key is the same as Jon's and somehow on this day they had swopped key rings!!!

Linda & Jon totally wound me up as Jon had found a program the appeared to produce a window to pop up which Linda alerted to me before I'd finished reading it but read enough to believe it was a virus about to deleted programs, Linda clicked okay I saw all the programs dissappearing before my eyes thank goodness when it had finished the April fool message pooped up, it certainly had my heart going.

Saints made up for recent past performances and recorded a 3-2 win over Cardiff and lifting us 10 points from the drop zone.
