Morning
8.8 today, but that will be the hot chocolate and brownie I ate for dessert last night. Well things didn’t go according to plan, went on our steam train ride, very nice despite the rain, got to the pub we were supposed to be staying in, all locked up, tried phoning, no answer, checked for any texts, missed calls, emails etc, nothing. Eventually we got a call to say they had had a power cut and would have to cancel our booking for last night, but should be ok for tonight but obviously couldn’t guarantee it, they seemed very surprised when I said cancel it as well. Anyway tried finding somewhere else to stay actually in Tunbridge Wells, but everywhere we tried was booked, I am sure there was probably many smaller places available, but by this time I was cold, tired and hungry, so decided to come home as it was now 5pm and we had nowhere to stay and no booking for a nice meal, luckily I managed to get a booking at the local Harvester to where we live so just hoped traffic would be on our side as we were less than 2 hrs drive from home. So I thought sod it I am having a dessert.
Not surprisingly we had a text and email from the Alpaca trekking farm to cancel today’s trekking trip, but at leas they had the decency to do it first thing this morning, they have offered us an alternative date but as hubby works shifts we had to decline, so we are currently trying to sort a new date with them on a Saturday when hubby is off and I have no plan.
all in all very disappointing weekend. Trying to decide whether to put my running shoes on and go out for a long run instead as all my plans have gone wrong.
@ColinUK - pleased to hear you are free again, my daughter has just tested positive, we were supposed to be going to the theatre next Friday, together so hoping she is testing negative by then or that will be more plans down the drain.
