A short diary and top tips on travel
Well, I think I had one hours sleep last night. That was
well after five this morning. Oh my goodness the heat was unbearable and of
course in the UK most houses don’t have air conditioning. We have radiators and
fire places though. Smile.
It’s almost lunch time and my dog is unusually quiet, still
and very sleepy. May be she didn’t get sleep either? I felt so sorry for them
during the night, I got up, came downstairs and put down some water for them.
They came so excited, too excited for 3.a.m.
And why? Because the little monkeys expect milk with their
water every time now, it is the only way I can get LF to drink water. We put it
on his dinner too lots of it and I said last night, it’s a shame really if he
hates it, it’s like us having really watery gravy on our lovely dinner. But
having lost one dog due to kidney failure, I don’t want to go through that
again. She was my pet and she was eighteen when she died, but what a death?
Oh our dog food came today, and I have said before most
delivery people we get here are foreign and speak very poor English. They annoy
me as they don’t understand simple requests like can you tell me please where
to sign, as I’m blind, or could you put it there please? Well, today I asked
him to put the two heavy boxes in my pre opened garage? Take two, then three, I
gave up on the lingo and pointed. Have you ever seen a blind person point?
Haha. Seriously I just kind of hoped I was pointing in the right direction.
Well they went in so I must have been, right?
As he was lifting the heavy boxes on this hot sticky day, he
put them down and said in a tired/exhausted voice. F**k
Really? Should I take him to one side and tell him this is
not the excepted language? No, get him
off my property and lock my door. Mind you, the few words he said, he had a
very sexy voice.
Yes, get him off my property. Haha. Joking, it’s too hot.
Oh, and I’m far too loyal.
Smile
Hub and I went out and did our not so favourite pass time of
gardening last night. It was a barmy evening, I cut back the roses, heck, what
a mess that part of the garden is. I can’t wear gloves as can’t feel, if I
can’t feel, I can’t find.
My fingers and hands are cut to bits. And who knows if my
rose bush is looking any better, it can’t look worse. Hub watered the apple
tree and that is as far as our gardening skills go.
Hub is at Peterborough for the last time today, mind you,
the last time has been going on for a few months now. What started as just
helping out, has turned into about nine months. I bet you a tenner, he will
return.
Oh one more sleep before teen returns. Thank goodness. I
can’t wait. Now what time he is due? No one knows. As for the airport he is
landing in? Hmm. Your guess is as good as mine, and his. Haha.
He went to see Craig David last night, they had a booth,
bottle and a waitress. After the show, there was an after party. I think he
will sleep for a week when he returns. Mind you, he is suffering from not going
to the gym, so that may be first priority, after a huu’uu’uuge hug for his Mum.
Then how long will it take him to unpack? Hehehe.
Talking of packing, here are some tips, I have written about
this in previous summer posts, but for those who were on holiday at the time
and missed those blogs, smile, here goes again.
Firstly, check out the weight restriction with your flight
suppliers.
Also, how many bags can you take?
Take the quotes worlds lightest suitcase. They are so light
even when full. If you have a big heavy leather case, a lot of your weight will
be in the case.
Take a hand held digital scale with you to weigh your case
before you return home, whereas at home, you can use your own scales, the ones
in the bathroom, that normally weigh you.
Get on without your case then with. It’s the difference
between your weight and your case that roughly your case will weigh.
Gels pastes and creams can’t excel 100ml and must be in
closed bottles/tubes, and in a clear bag.
It is a fallacy that a designer suitcase will get you an
upgrade, but it may attract a thief.
For our little ones, the trunk case makes it possible for
the tantrums to be timed by your child being able to ride on their case.
70% of luggage on the carousel are black, so coloured cases
or a ribbon on your handle of the case will help you to locate it among many of
the other luggage.
Fold your clothes or roll. Pack your shoes near the or on
top of the wheels. Anything sharp, bury in clothes or it will go right through
the material when another case is put on top of your case with the pointy
object. Stuff your shoes with socks and other underwear to save space, as long
as your shoes don’t replica a triangle of cheese.
Don’t pack wrapped gifts they could be opened. If there are
two of you travelling try to split both of your clothes between two cases, just
in case one goes missing, case, not person. Smile.
Always put your flight and destination in your case as well
as the label on your baggage just in case, pardon the pun. The label falls off.
If you do have young children these websites are great, if
you are from the UK, but I bet they have the same in your country if not?
Gosh they didn’t have this when I had my Teen.
Use a TSA approved padlock. This means staff at the airport
will be able to open rather than break your case.
Oh this is a great idea. It’s £4.99 roughly per year. Not
holiday, but year, for a plastic label that can track your case
if your case goes missing, even if you are told it’s on the
next flight, fill in a PIR report.
Luggage is held for 100 days in the UK and after that, it
goes to auction and sold for charity
Wherever you are off to this year, enjoy and if you are
staying at home, great, keep me company and I will you. X
