Portable ginsicles after that very hot day. (Sone of them melted in flight. I blame atmospheric friction.)

Twellsy! I turn my back for 5 minutes (OK, 24 hours) and you’re misbehaving again. You are such a worry…

Have a hug, and be sure to get better soon.

I do hate to disappoint them with a simple illness

“After Rita’s husband died, she joined a small community of nuns, who later became Augustinians, where she was known both for practicing mortification of the flesh and for the efficacy of her prayers. Various miracles are attributed to her intercession, and she is often portrayed with a bleeding wound on her forehead, which is understood to indicate a partial stigmata.”

Patroness of abused wives and heartbroken women. Presumably not available in Ambridge due to overwork.

St. Rita of Cascia is the patron saint of impossible causes, sterility, abuse victims, loneliness, marriage difficulties, parenthood, widows, the sick, and bodily ills and wounds.

Obviously I wholeheartedly support the sentiment; I simply fail to see the connection…

I have just looked it up, Joe, as I was intrigued. If you are staying 2 nights, & don’t have your towels changed or your room cleaned, they will put the (housekeeping) money saved into a charitable fund to protect bees, & encourage beekeeping.

The Hotel group is very keen on the most ecologically friendly ways of running, & does huge amounts of reducing, reusing & recycling.

It looks very Noo & smart, BTW.

On way back from airport finally - nightmare journey. Dresden to Munich delayed, so panic to catch connection to Dublin. Never mind, at least we know it’s gate H24 so we can head straight there. No information at the gate, and no one to ask. Eventually, a waiting passenger notices us looking a bit lost and asks where we’re going. “Dublin? Oh - they announced it was changed to H28 about half an hour ago…”

No far, but completely deserted.

Finally find a departure board - now H48. The other end of the terminal. It is now about 15.20 - ten minutes after the gate was supposed to be closed. Nearly have a coronary trying to dash across the terminal. Eventually get there, whereupon the phone decides to hide the boarding cards. Manage to get them reissued, so we stagger onto the plane. Which proceeds - or rather doesn’t - to sit there for another hour…

I’ve known many more annoying, tbh.

According to the World Service, earlier, we should have a Plan B with regards to paying for stuff now technology has proved to be fallible. Like, carrying cash. Who’d guess?

Well, quite.TBF, I have known several teenagers who managed to make it to 21 - despite annoying the heck out of me.
