I'm here! Rain and dark cloud, BUGGER!

An elderly couple once asked me "Do you like Pina Colada?",  i replied "No it reminds me of getting caught in the rain".

Little bit of bar humour there to kick of this first instalment of Season 2019.

Well i waved Sian tata for now (not long though), picked up my pack lunch and off i went to the airport.
The day before i was very ill, so ill i thought i wouldn't be able to fly, cold shivering, body boiling and aching from head to toe, would have been quite easy to miss flight BUT NO, i sucked it up and got on the coach feeling like i had been run over. Also i never take any tablets when i'm ill but i had to try something with this as never felt this way before so i reluctantly took 2 paracetamol.

Got to airport and its self check in. JESUS CHRIST! There were about 20 self check ins, guess how many assistant staff.........14, 14 bloody staff for a self check in.....they may as well be behind the counter checking in if they are being paid to be there, how ridiculous.
I leave the check in area and up to the security check, oh joy in front of me is a Welsh hen party of about 10, youngest being in 40's all with same t-shirts on saying such hilarious things as "Brides Bitch", "Python Handler", "Flora Spreadable"  and the most brilliant t-shirt ever, must have taken hours, put Dylan Thomas to shame " Ball Juggler". BRAVO, BRAVO, Noble Literature prize winner in the making there. So not only did i have a gaggle of women in front of me none of them must have flown before. It took forever as they had bottles and toiletries that were to big and ones they could take they hadn't put in to that little clear bag, freaking idiots.
In to the departures lounge and set up a little camp for myself so i could be away from the hordes and just spy.
Question, 2 weeks off for Easter for the children yes? So why was there so many children over 7 going on holiday? i saw so many.
On to plane a front seat already booked with speedy boarding, just how i like it. Tried to sleep most of the way but felt so rough it was hard to sleep comfortable.
I step off the plane and how wonderful to see big black clouds and rain.
First through and bag comes really quick.
Jump in to taxi but forget to buy water and baguette. YOU IDIOT PINNELL!
Get to our house and first thing i do is put battery on charge for bike, sweep through, unpack rucksack, make some gruel (Oats, god thank you for oats) as nothing else in house and collapse under quilt shivering and boiling writing this.
Lets hope tomorrow is a better day, well can't be any worse than Tues and Wed, i can't even go out to watch Liverpool and get supplies.

So just a quick little update as going to try to shift whatever it is i got.

Tomorrow we begin.

Serve All, Love All, Peace All, Kevlar Out!
