As if on cue the sun is shining: I only hope that it lasts into the afternoon so that my guests are greeted with a sight of my favourite star! And that, apart from the nights, it blazes out for the whole of their stay!
Also, as if on cue, I feel awful with a racking cough and a sore throat. One has to admire god’s sense of irony and timing!
I will have to regard Ceri and Dianne’s visit as if they were a lesson I have to teach.
This is not to say that it is a chore, but rather that I will draw the necessary adrenaline from it to boost my performance.
I have always found that, no matter how bad I felt, I could use the chemistry of a lesson to give me temporary relief from my ailments and then collapse decorously out of sight of the customers!
If it works for a class, how much more likely is it to work with old friends! Well, that’s my strategy and I only hope it works!
A message from Toni half way through the morning, which I thought was a joke, informed me that Ceri and Dianne’s flight had been cancelled.
It wasn’t a joke.
Bad weather or low cloud caused the flights from Bristol to be cancelled. Although their flight has been transferred the only flight tomorrow is in the evening so they have in effect, lost an entire day of the weekend. At least they were insured so that they will be able to claim for the day that they have lost.
At least I will be able to pick them up from the airport tomorrow. Out of every disaster there are crumbs of comfort!
