FLIGHT CANCELLED ON NEXT TRIP BUT GOT IT SORTED!

As if I didn't have enough things to fret about, I got a notification ( in French) that Air Austral had cancelled our flight from Reunion to Madagascar and booked us the next day, this would have bitten into out limited time there so after struggling to find a contact number I eventually found they had a UK agent which wasn't listed until you had delved three layers of rubbish. Long story short, we have booked to previous day whereby we save £100 on car hire, booked at £36 room in Tana and then get picked up and transferred  to the NP lodge in daylight, not a bad outcome but some fretful moments but already have the changed tickets, the chap at the Tana hotel has arranged a taxi to the hotel. Fingers crossed that the next round of challenges goes so sweetly. I see the consultant at Leighton  Hosp, Crewe tomorrow morning and I assume he recommends a colonoscopy which I'd hope to get done before the trip but not really panicked on it.

We said goodbye to Yvonne and Graham this morning as they headed ever northwards on their road trip to Scotland and family events. We'll see them on their return leg. I have managed to get a few more DVDs on digital download, slowly building the resource up and a gentle trickle of people using the facility. I will try and devote time at the weekend to look at the Youtube clips prior to resubmitting for motorization approval next week but as I've said before it is just working in the dark with another weird US organisation. I keep getting notifications of things on Facebook and if it is someone I know well I sometimes look and then wish I hadn't awful language, mostly racist, fascists, perverts etc - Friends Reunited wasn't that bad an idea how did such things spawn this awful Facebook creation. If you do have to use it why swear all the time and show character traits which you would shudder to discuss at work or with relations.

Here are some more shots at Carlisle earlier this week. I've penciled a possible South East bus trip in for the end of next week.
