Day 1580 torrential rain!!!!

I lay down in bed last night…. It had been a beautiful day…. Then I heard the rain drops…. Huge big rain drops. It was about 10.30pm and it did not stop until about 3pm today.

It was torrential…..

The roads on the way to work were so flooded. Rivers running down either side of the road.

I slept well and work was really busy.

You can tell today is a slow news day. 😆

So my weekend is here!! I have Friday off as usual but also Monday as Helen is coming up from Exmouth this weekend. She’s drastically delayed poor thing, so tomorrow might have to be a gentle day.

I’m so looking forward to our next adventure for the next 4 days.

Who knows what we will get up to…. Which is interesting because I am the one who should have planned it all…. 😆

I have lots of ideas but we will decide each day based on the weather. It’s been so changeable that we can’t risk being out on a long walk and getting drenched.

I love this next time one….

You all know me by now… my body talks to me all the time and tells me all sorts…. 😆😆

So leading nicely into my next news….. I have also booked a mini break for the end of October… to Milan.

It’s another solo travel but with a difference… I’m going to be meeting Melanie, who I met out in Rome. She’ll get a train up to meet me. so I travel out alone but am not alone when I’m there.

How exciting!

I booked my flights through Skyscanner and I’m flying with Ryanair. Their booking system is very hard work! It’s very negative and they desperately try to get you to spend more money on your flights.

If you don’t pay to select a seat…they assume that you are happy with “random seat selection”…. 🫣😆 then they try to scare you by suggesting it’s not a good idea.

“What you need to know about random seat selection…. “

You might be stuck in dreaded middle seat. 🫣

Also the wording for not picking their travel insurance…. “I don’t want to be insured”…. What about I already have my own travel insurance?!?

Do you want to compensate for you CO2 emmissons?! I felt a bit guilty about that.

They asked me on 4 separate occasions to update my bags… the fear factor that the size you have selected will just never be enough. 4 whole times!!

And finally the £2.99 to get text updates. Now I did pay that just because I’d rather be fully updated when I’m travelling on my own. They got me there 😆

So yeah, I found that all very interesting. Spend more money. Spend more money.

Eh no….

So only another 3.5 hours until Helen gets here… IF the delayed flight is on its new time. I have everything crossed for her.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
