And...at least I've caught up on reading the posts.
@Goonergal I'd say safe journey but you must be home now and getting over jet lag. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
I'm up to Sunday now. In laws set off to the airport armed with my 'instructional' folder that saved them reading through 80 odd pages of travel docs. Got a text to say everything fine, hire car back, bags dropped and checked through to Budapest and they were relaxing with a coffee waiting to board. Didn't last - they picked up a 35 min delay and you may recall they only hadv40 mins to make their connection in Amsterdam. Told them don't panic, their departure gate in Amsterdam was directly above the gate they were landing at. Tell the cabin crew what your connection is and be prepared to be rushed up one level. Meantime I reckoned there was a good chance pilot would make up the time but I'd track both flights. To cut a long story short, he did make up time, they did have to run between gates and amazingly even their hold luggage made it. So they arrived for two peaceful days in Budapest before the cruise. After all that I had to get out for shopping.
Bed 9 FBG 8.3 thanks to the Tia Maria.
B. TAG with ADOC. Inbetween keeping in laws sane, 2 GF pork chipolatas, fried egg, portobello mushroom, santini tomatoes, 2 rashers crispy streaky bacon.
L. Nothing
D. Rib eye, veggie chips, asparagus, mushrooms, mini cob. Raspberries and cream. Usual campari and soda.
Was exhausted when I went to bed.
Monday - no grandsons today either. In laws keeping me informed with WhatsApp. One of the couples they were supposed to meet in Rome also managed to get onto the same river cruise but neither knew they had so it was a surprise meet up in Budapest. I went for a relaxing Aqua class to unwind.
Bed 8.1 FBG 8 - need to stay away from Tia Maria!
B. TAG with ADOC. After aqua had a brunch of 2 GF pork chipolatas, 1 fried egg and 4 rashers of crispy streaky bacon.
L. Went off to a Sainbury's in Edinburgh to pick up an engraved plate for BIL fircwhen we meet up again in 3 weeks. Hubby came too but he regretted it - biggest Sainsbury's EVER! I tried to be quick but failed.
D. Got 2 Sainsbury's fishy dishes. 1 mussels with white wine and garlic and 1 scallops and prawn bisque. They're tapas size dishes but very tasty. Had one of each with asparagus. Had a few strawberries and raspberries with cream.
2 bits Lindt 90%.
