Lifelong Learning

Those of our more avid (read mentally deranged) readers will recall his frankly farcical preparations for the "trip". Well he has of course learnt his lesson and has made a much better fist of organising a holiday.

Er, well actually no he hasn't.

Basically he took too long to actually book it up so he couldn't go when he wanted to (8 August) and the only alternative was to go on 5 August (his birthday). A number of consequences therefore arise.

1. He gets to spend his birthday on an airplane
2. He has had to cry off going to Gatcombe 3 day eventing
3. He has had to cry off going to his niece's birthday

So he is not very popular.

To add to his woes he can't find his passport.

Oh by the way he's going to Sharm El Sheikh to learn how to dive. His place in a barometric chamber has already been booked.
