Back From Trip - The Reckoning

The Title sounds a bit 60s! Before we crashed out last night after our 15+ hours worth of travelling from Symi to Bath, we figured out a balance sheet for the holiday:-
Taxis = 2
Trains = 2
Buses = 4
Planes =4
Airport Transfers =2
Rooms/Cabins = 6
Boats = 6
Suntans = 2
Colds = 1 (Su)
Enjoyment = Loads
Bank Balance = Empty!


Today saw us awake about 8 o'clock, and both on our laptops before long!  Because the larder was bare, after coffee we went out for a leisurely breakfast and a read of the paper.  After updating some software and downloading 800+ photos from my iPhone, I left Su to nurse her cold and went off to the kennels to pick up Bella. She was pleased to see me, pleased to go for a walk in Clutton woods, more pleased to come home and see Su and have a fuss, and very pleased to get her tea, play with a ball and roll around on the grass! She is now snoozing contentedly...
