Posted on January 5, 2015 by Gary

After walking Mirinda to the station for the first time this year, I did some essential shopping at Waitrose (mainly for Tracey) then some at Boots (for Mum) then returned home to the puppies. Most of the day was spent … Continue reading →

Espania

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Gary

No builders this morning.  I have no idea why.  The last time I saw Paul (Wednesday) he said he’d see me today.  Carole picked us up in the taxi at 11am and there was no sign of the builders.  I … Continue reading →

Lousy service

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Gary

After a lovely Christmas break, you really don’t want a problem with your luggage at Heathrow. You really don’t want to stand around at baggage retrieval for a few hours waiting for the non-appearance of your bags. You really don’t … Continue reading →

Heading for China

Off to Florida

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Gary

Mirinda left for Miami today and, rather than go to work, I decided to go to Heathrow and see her off. This was for two reasons. Firstly, because I went to Middlesbrough last weekend, I haven’t seen her much recently. … Continue reading →

Return to normality

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Gary

My very well travelled suitcase turned up at 6pm tonight. I was amazed because I’d missed a phone call from the baggage people in the morning while out shopping. They left a strange, sort-of message on the phone. When I … Continue reading →

The slow pack and the massive buffer

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Gary

What an incredibly quiet house I woke in this morning. No poodles, no Mirinda, just me. Even the birds had flown south. Of course, I still woke at 7am but then, I’d intended to get little sleep last night (in … Continue reading →

Back to reality

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Gary

Another lovely day with sun and a slight breeze. The perfect day with it not too hot! As far from New York as I like it! And yet another trip to Heathrow. All was well and Mirinda boarded the plane … Continue reading →

Visitor from Oz

Posted on May 6, 2005 by Gary

Long lunch at the pub…AGAIN! Then off to the airport to meet Denise. Her flight was delayed by 50 minutes so I had a beer and waited in the bar. Denise finally appeared at about 7:30pm. Apparently the plane was … Continue reading →
