Update on Stranded, or should I say Deserted!

Updating the last post, Emirate Airlines have decided they've had enough of all this ash cloud/major shutdown of airspace nonsense. Guy has been told he can't fly home for another nine days. Yes, I know it could be dangerous to fly but I worry that I won't remember what he looks like when he gets home. If he ever does. Lots of people are frustrated with the situation but because Guy is with family I don't have anything to worry about. Except for the milkman!

Milk is a commodity I had to give up when I was poorly so I asked the milkman, by a note in the empty bottle, to leave one semi-skimmed on Monday 19th ... for Guy. However, because of continuing worries with our airspace Monday 19th was changed to Friday 23rd. Another note was left for milkman cancelling the milk for 19th.

Since plans continued to change I told Guy I would inform the milkman! He saw the funny side straight away. Yes, I think we all know the tale about the housewife and the milkman!

So now we're looking forward to April 29th ... I just hope the milkman remembers!

Stranded!

Yea, oh Yea, I am husbandless. Guy is stranded in Oz because the ash cloud drifting over the UK from Iceland prevents planes from flying. He was due to start the journey home today but for obvious reasons cannot do so. It’s a good job he’s staying with daughter and not in a hotel, at least his comfort is guaranteed while he awaits news of a flight. That's much better than being stuck in an airport somewhere. The two part journey might possibly have been started but there was a danger then of being stranded in Dubai. I suggested he opted for the comfort of bed and board with the good hospitality our daughter can provide. I really hope he makes the most of the bonus days in Australia.
