12 October
Sunday morning and we woke up to a fair old mist
hanging around. Finally, it’s starting to clear as I write this at 12.02. The
weather for the next day or two locally is for rain or showers. On Tuesday when
we leave for Mallorca for our 6.30 flight, it’s again forecast rain. At a
flight time that early, and after a busy day with little or no sleep Monday
night, we shall be pretty tired when we arrive. Tuesday will be an early night
methinks.
We have decided that we would have two new suitcases
for this trip; one arrived early last week, the second one hasn’t arrived yet, despite
it being ordered at the same time. I’ve just spent nearly 15 minutes on the
phone to them to find out what is going on seeing as all info I have on email
seems to be all over the place. Order dates keep changing, despatch dates keep
changing, delivery dates keep changing. Right now I have a pocket full of ‘I’m
sorrys’ but no second suitcase. We will end up using Jan’s old one that we
found to be broken last weekend.
Have you heard of Ed Macbain? He’s another Edinburgh
based writer who writes about crime in and around the city. His hero ‘tec is DC
Cullen; the conflict is with Cullen and DI Bain. I’ve already read two of his
books and I have just started number 3, Fire
in the Blood. This one is based in and around a distillery. So far it’s as
good as the others I’ve read. Perhaps you could keep on the name. I got his for
nowt for me Kindle. They might still be nowt, I haven’t looked.
Today’s photo then …
Jan at the small harbour where we
got the boat for a an hour trip down the coast to Port de Sóller last time we
were in Mallorca.
And today’s funny …
If flying
is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
