Crazy day

The weather is horrendous outside.

Rita noticed the smiley face in this image, I completely missed it...nothing new there :-)

We never made it to Lyon. A couple of days battling a threatening cold led to a sleepness night with an infected throat. Feeling miserable and completely whacked I went to see the doctor and left with a course of anti-b's which I reluctantly agreed to take. Sadly we started the process of cancelling the arrangements and the moods were very very down. We agreed it was pointless going and I really felt so bad as Rita was so looking forward to the trip.

In a strange twist we were due to fly out of Dublin at 12pm, I received a text from Aer Lingus stating that due to industrial action the return flight from Lyon on Sunday was cancelled. We would have had to cancel the trip anyway as the alternative flights were of no use to us. So being a typical male I told Rita I saved her a trip to Dublin Airport. As you can guess this did not go down well...

Note: The text from Aer Lingus arrived at 12:20pm which meant that we would not have received it until we landed in Lyon. That would have really put us in a jam.

And the silver lining...I rebooked everything for March, the exact same itinerary. Happy Days!
