COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Good afternoon all.

Sunny if slightly chilly day.

Panoramic view of the old port in Calais with the ferry terminal behind.

We've stocked up on cheese, wine and a few other festive treats. We had a nice lunch, went for stroll on Blériot Plage (the beach where Louis Blériot landed after the first flight across the English Channel in 1909) and are now at the Eurotunnel terminal waiting to board the shuttle train back to Kent.

The train crossing takes 30 minutes and the drive home just under an hour

i think she lives alone, met her on my way home... poor woman must have gotten a fright, stupid drunk/drugged up 'lad' must have been kicked out the party... tried to kick the door in and got a bottle in the face, he was there when i got in, gone after i checked on jade.

as you can see i only cleaned her door


the walls are covered, i will be calling the building factors on monday to get it cleaned and will be expecting the bill to go to that flat!



so much for a relaxing afternoon

 

[JoesMum]

On a happier note, we have a few souvenirs

The Brie was on special offer and didn't give us much choice about taking it. It's on the ripe side of ripe and would probably have travelled on its own if left much longer.

Guess what we're having for tea

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

work finished, no problems.

hope everyone has a great weekend

hi 5's all round

You too John!
Hope to speak soon.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Had 3 this morning. Plus wine in the afternoon. God, I love Saturdays!

I'm still on the coffee.
Student at 7 pm so no alcohol today.
But I still love Saturdays!

I quite like Calais.
Points for the cheese.
You should be about home by the time I post this.

Oh, goodness, I feel quite faint!
Glad you had such a productive voyage.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Don't be silly!
Firstly, that's substrate and secondly, it's France we're talking about.
So my guess.
Horse.

Splendid.
Up working in the lab.
One of the neighbours has broken the tap on the terrace, the one The Todge likes to sit under in summer.
They're all blaming each other (same family), but as long as it's replaced by spring it's fine.
I'll keep knocking on the door of the apartment that backs onto the terrace and get them to give me buckets of water.
If I do it enough, they'll fix the tap.
Neighbours, eh ?

I was home when I posted that cheese picture. On my second mug of tea

Saw the end of the rugby - good to watch England beat Australia - for the 4th time this year

Glad you're back safely and loaded down.
Yes, how long is it since the English beat the Aussies that often in one year ?
Probably never!
