Home & dry.

G has posted the final blog from our holiday in Denmark - many thanks to W & K, T & B for their hospitality.
We flew home on Wednesday evening & were met at East Midlands by Steve & Diane.
We had only eaten a sandwich at lunchtime (rye bread with herring & prawn/ strong cheese - "when in Rome") & so had a takeaway, the usual. Delicious!

On Thursday I went to the dentist, washed, ironed & food shopped. I did stand by the "Dinner for two for £10" at M&S, recommending it to passers by, so I expect an upturn in their share price. (Fresh chickens or moussaka, asparagus, salad & scrummy puds, with wine)
G went to Bournemouth in a big van to complete the J & G removals to Leatherhead, arriving home late & loaded with surplus goods to store for a while.

Yesterday G did organising/tidying jobs outside whilst I gardened. Rain threatened but never arrived.
We popped to see P & A in the evening before they go to Cornwall for a week's holiday. (I wore my new Nike pink/khaki striped polo shirt, pressie from W & K - no beige in sight!)
Thomas was in bed, J was on good form, wellies packed & ready to go.
We picked up fish & chips on the way home as it was late, enjoying them with a bottle of Venetian white & "Poirot".
Perhaps we'll get to the cinema tonight.

We are presently watching the Olympics.
We have just been robbed in the Tai kwonda by four visually-challenged judges.
The Brit fell off in the cross country cycling, but it does look pretty rough. The leader is Absalon of France.
Two questions:
Is he a descendant of Bishop Absalon, the founder of Copenhagen?
Is this what W does?
Surely it is not good for your undercarriage - why not find a smooth flat road to cycle along?
Inspired, we may go for a bike ride before taking to the garden - rain promised for tomorrow & lawns in need of mowing.

A great video of Barrie Scott on internet - best GCSE results ever for Granville School.

Spellcheck available again - Denmark version highlighted 90% of words as mis-spellings!
What do they know?
