Like the Fish

Gutted!

I know we shouldn't be bothered, there are plenty people worse off than us and all that bollocks. But it's official, the holiday has been cancelled because those damn Icelander's are still burning our money to make big ash clouds.

BB has taken the news surprisingly well. After having both parents arrive home in consecutive weeks late, it's a bit more difficult explaining to him that the sky was "temporarily" fixed for mum to fly home on Sat morning, but now is broken again meaning we can't get away to the land of sunshine and swimming pools.

The downside, is that we so needed/wanted this holiday. MPLST's boss has been great and will let her carry over the leave until we can get a flight. The downside is that it'll cost us a fortune to go in the height of summer. On top of that, it'll be too toasty for my little while boy then too. If we leave it until autumn, he'll possibly see his 2nd birthday, meaning more spondoolas out of my pooch.
To rub salt into our wounds, Mother Nature kindly dumped a massive load of hailstones on us as we left the supermarket today after we decided that the fridge would need re-stocking as we are staying at home this week.

Being experienced North Sea Tigers, we'd quite happily be stranded somewhere else other than home, and abuse our plastic whilst the rest of the country gets into a flap. To be stuck here, just as the latest cold spell hits us is, well.......shite for want of a better word.

So, once the cameras are back working again....the pics will be of our rainy back garden, unless we can negotiate a seemingly unlikely last minute deal at the end of the week.....
