home at 9pm
Flight was an uneventful 25 minutes, most of which seemed to be spent manoeuvering for the landing. Liverpool is only a small airport so we were through quite quickly, the only real negative being there were no luggage carts at the baggage claim area. Amateurish really.
Anne and I shared the driving, me on the first stint. We stopped at Hartshead Moor services which is roughly half way. I demonstrated iron willpower in avoiding a KFC. it was a very warm evening and we didn’t really need much nosh anyway.
Late to bed and up this morning to pick up my laser print cartridge from the newsagents down the road- left by DPD on behalf of HP. I’d had to call them yesterday to let them know I was coming for the parcel as it had already been 7 days after which the item is normally returned to the sender.
After the newsagents it was John Hill for an extraction. Seemed to go much earlier this time than the last though I was still in some discomfort this afternoon. Okish now.
We have put up some gazebos for John’s party tomorrow and I also accompanied Anne to Liquorice Park for some blackberry picking. I sit there reading whilst she picks. Tea tonight was spag bol which felt a lot easier on the mouth than the ham baguette at lunchtime.
Have modified my trip to Madrid for the RIPE conference to go over early with Anne. Booked into the Intercontinental as a bit of a treat. Also registered and booked the hotel for Euro-IX in Krakow.
It’s been a perfect summers day here btw.
Vid is a mouse in our shed this evening.
