The best laid plans......

....what is it they say about those?

Yesterday, another 13th, a fact that crept up on me slowly, ran true to form. This time it was PG who suffered, he damaged his knee, would you believe it, his foot slipped off the clutch changing gear! No injury was apparent, in fact the incident was all but forgotten until later when he began sporting a rapidly expanding limb that now appears akin to a grapefruit in dimensions. Many cold compresses, an elevated leg and all manner of other cures have been to no avail.

Proceedings for the impending journey have not been helped by this event, he cannot walk with any efficiency let alone drive, so it would appear the honour of the 400 miles will be mine alone...... while he reads the paper, plays on the laptop and snoozes for the duration! I am not unsympathetic, it is hurting him like hell, just why now?? Gah!

Finally, the packing is done, the myriad last minute 'things to remember' have been crossed off the 'don't forget' list and the cats are about to be pushed forcibly into their carriers for their journey to the, er.... holiday home, they do not enter these 'cages' voluntarily, unless of course it is for a homeward journey from the vets. There is a distinct possibility that this task could be a feat in itself as we race around the premises after them and attempt to extricate one or other from tight spaces under various pieces of furniture!

And that's it, we are on our way.....point me at London and tell me when we are there!

I will of course do my best to get a post here every day, as my resolution dictates, whilst I am away. I have almost mastered posting via email from my phone but the technology seems to be lacking a little in reliability. No matter, I leave you in the more than capable hands of my friend, the HTML wizard(ess), Lisa, who has kindly agreed to 'babysit' this patch for the duration....one or other of us should make it here most days.

Have a good week....I'm gone!
