Bird bath

I was supposed to be on a flight to Florida today. My bag is packed, I was up at six ready to shower and go and extremely excited about my trip. Suddenly a text message arrived telling me that my flight was delayed until tomorrow morning - a delay of 22 hours! To say I was gutted was an understatement. My friends are already out there and waiting for me to arrive.

There was an up-side. I could have been sitting in a jam on the M25 when I heard the news or worse, sitting at the airport. Not much of a positive, but take what you can get.

I still needed to check the information and make sure it wasn't a typo. I phoned and yes, 22 hour delay. Not wanting to miss out on anything on my itinerary I asked about the possibility of bumping my return flight by a day. After a long pause on hold I was told that under the circumstances, yes they could do that for me.

With all of that sorted and a quick juggle of the return pick up arrangements I suddenly had a free day. I got all my jobs done yesterday so it really was like being handed a spare 22 hours to do with what I liked. So I spent the day in the garden with my mum, dad and the dog and we gardened. I must say the garden is looking great now. I'm almost sorry to leave it for Florida, almost!
