Well, it’s been a bit of a cyclone so far! Like the title… it’s actually day 3, but really feels like day 1! Last night, I went to bed at about 8am, and slept until 9:30 am! I certainly needed that! When I got up, I have to say, I was feeling quite wobbly! The last couple f days have taken their toll on me! I joined the group at the Basecamp for breakfast. It’s vegan menu here, so that’ll be interesting! I’m not even sure what was for breakfast, but I enjoyed it all the same! During breakfast I had a visit from Ashkar, my driver from yesterday. I had left my jumper in his car. The people eye are just so lovely, he had come to return it to me! And then, about half ... read more

Day 1 It’s going to be a long day! It was an early start this morning. The alarm was set for 5am. I’m am definitely not a morning person, and even though this is an exciting day, I do not get up easily! I do have a, ‘what I need to do plan’ in mind, but it fit really goto plan! When Ross arrived at 5:50am, I wasn’t quite in order! I didn’t get a drink, didn’t eat my toast, but at least had a bottle of water ready, and managed to put some lippy on! So not the best start to my day! Luckily for me, here is a coffee kiosk at Brough station… thank goodness, so at least I can still start my day with a coffee. I guess I’m going to have plenty ... read more

I have had a slightly better night’s sleep last night, but feel so much worse! I went to sleep at about 11, was up at 1:30, had water and a lozenge, then I did go back to sleep until about 3:30, more water, more lozenge. I mentioned to Kerry that I feel that I’m struggling with the air on a night due to the air con, and that it seems to really affect my sinuses. Last night when we were out, I started to feel achy and shaky across my back, then overnight, I feel I’m in for another chest infection, I feel horrendous. I am hoping that when I do get up and around, it’ll drop off a bit, I always feel better during the day, than I do overnight with this problem! The feast ... read more

A good start to the day today…. I actually had a good night’s sleep! I only got up once in the night for not being able to breathe. I went to the loo, I had a drink of water and an extra strong mentholated lozenge, then was able to go straight back over to sleep. Now that’s a good result for me! I woke up at about 7am, but considering that I went to sleep early last night, at about 10pm, that was a long sleep! Kerry and I laid in bed and chatted a fair bit this morning, then did what we consider to be our ‘housekeeping’ for the day. This duty consisted of me checking us in for our return flights online! So that job took all of 30 seconds, then back to gabbing! ... read more

City break I’m going on a welcome city break. It’s a bit different though, I’m not going on my own for a change! I’m going with my friend’s younger sister, Kerry. I have been friends with my friend Donna since we were about 11 years old. We met at Amy Johnson High School for Girls. I was given a locker on the top level…. That, at my height, was just about impossible to reach! Donna, a stranger at that time, stood next to me at her ‘given’ locker, which was at my perfect height! I instantly looked up at mine, down at hers, back up at mine, and back down at hers…. Then I ceased the moment! I introduced myself, and asked her if she would agree to exchange our lockers…. Pointing out the obvious elephant ... read more
