lizwilliamsWe had a quick lunch on Wall St, then caught the ferry out to Jersey yesterday afternoon and had dinner with a woman who supplies the shop with various oil blends (Kzin - thanks for passing the message on and my apologies for inadvertently troubling you with that! I think Gwen used ring-back). Great fun, and G very kindly drove us to the airport after this.
The flight back was on time and uneventful - rather like the flight over, although thankfully this time without last week's disconcerting announcement that the cabin doors had just been closed (this when we were already several thousand feet over Wales. Since passengers were not sucked out and distributed over Tiger Bay, we assumed this was a computer glitch rather than an actual public service announcement).
A friend very kindly collected us at the airport and we got home to discover that the house was still standing, and we were locked out of it. T demonstrated his burgling prowess with a branch and managed to unlock the bottom half of the tack room door.
I went to sleep for 5 hours and woke to a phone call from my father informing me that they have a suspected carbon monoxide leak. They're waiting for the gas board now, and I am on standby to go and pick them up if need be. They found out via a change in the flame of the gas stove, thank God, rather than symptoms.
