A few more days (24 - 26/3/14)

24th March

Today I had a very lazy day and did nothing at all. In the evening Phil and Holly came over to dinner with Taze and after dinner we Skyped everyone in England. Mum, Dad, Emma, Jamie and Fin were all away in Suffolk as a little get away, yes without me can you believe it, and it was well timed as it was mum's birthday on Saturday so they all celebrated that while they were away. We Skyped them at their hotel and managed to talk with everyone which was really good. After dinner Phil and Holly took Taze home and I went back to Brendan and Molly's for the night.

Apart from walking Brendan and Molly's dog, Gidgie, and dropping my suit off at the dry cleaners, I didn't really do much else today. I spent the evening at theirs again and watched a movie before going to bed late.


26th March

This morning I went to the local aircraft museum. The neighbour across the road, Lillian, who I had helped do the cupboards for had a brother in law who worked at the museum and she'd arranged for him to give me a guided tour. I'd met him once already, he's an English bloke, called John, who used to live in Kent, and he very kindly got me in for free as well. I quite like visiting these sorts of places but usually just wander through without really reading all the detailed signs. But having a guided tour made a big difference because you hear all the little stories about what is going on and how the aircraft got put inside and he pointed things out to me that I would normally have missed. It was good to feed off Johns enthusiasm too. I ended up having a very enjoyable morning and topped it off with a fantastic fried seafood selection, chips and salad at the restaurant there. I thanked John for doing me that favour and left the museum shortly after lunchtime. On the way home I picked up my suit from the dry cleaners and dropped it back to my aunt and uncles. In the evening, after walking Gidgie, I arranged to go to Lillian's daughter in law's place as she needed help doing a couple of odd jobs around her house. I didn't mind as it kept me out of trouble and I arranged to pop back next Wednesday morning with a couple of tools to help me do the jobs. I had dinner back at Sandra and Geoff's this evening before heading back to Brendan and Molly's to watch another movie and then bed.
