Well, just off it actually, having arrived at AJ's at around 10.00am.
The weather is warm but overcast.
I say "warm" because the car thermometer registered 19 degrees.
I did have my doubts about this & turned the seat heater on full to gain a little comfort.
The M1 was very busy with lorries & people who get in front of you & don't go fast enough.
This is better than the 42 though, which has two lanes of trucks & no third lane of escape.
I am trying not to sit down for too long as I spent yesterday gardening & playing tennis (with a little light shopping in there somewhere).
We abandoned the garden at 9.00pm & went in for dinner & to watch "Dragons' Den"(highly recommended)
I fell asleep, briefly, & then found that my agile, well-honed body had been replaced by that of an old woman, bent double & groaning with every slight movement.
I did manage to stagger to the kitchen for coffee & freshly baked banana cake - I do have G to serve - then read the blogs & checked flights to CPH, before falling asleep again.
The only way to beat the pain is to exercise, so I need to keep on the move.
Does anyone know of any drugs that will help?
Off for a walk, we may reach York if AJ doesn't play-up!
We are going to see "Mamma Mia" tonight.
By "tonight" I mean "early evening" so that we can see the film, eat & sleep, in that order.
It has a very good write-up in the York Press, so it must be good.
"One for the girls" according to G.
News Flash!!! "Mamma Mia" was great, a real giggle with the audience applauding - quite a lot of enthusiastic youngsters there along with the more mature fans.
You may note the hour.
We walked into York, had a lovely lunch at "The Piano & Pitcher", sitting in the sunshine by the river, & then went to the matinee, next door.
Watching "Ten Years Younger", with a glass of wine.
I shall be taking AJ around York, getting the locals to guess her age, tomorrow!

Sounds awful (the film that is) say hi to Aj from us and let me know if/when you book flights. MK and I had an idea that you could rent a car in Malmo, driv to Stockholm over a couple of days then take a boat to Helsinki for a couple of days and then end the trip in Estonia and fly home from there. Just an idea...

Sounds good.
We thought about travelling East, any further thoughts/info gratefully received.

Sounds like a great agenda. Have you any more details? interesting - |i'm told Tallin in v picturesque so worth a day or two.

I haven't looked into the itinerary yet, I think you could fly home directly from Talin relatively easily. Hiring a car in Sweden should be better than DK and the either go direct to Stockholm or stop off half way. I am told there are lots of trees to see in Sweden. MK thinks there could be a week of entertainment in Stockholm, but I think a couple of days may be enough then off to Helsinki and Talin after another couple of days.

Flights? Maybe one of the lowcost companies flies direct?
Only 3 weeks away, so we must get organised.
