Finished off the remaining breakfast items in the fridge this morning. Has to be said the sausages here are not in the same league as Lincolnshire Farmhouse sausages from Fosters on Monks Road. At least we are back to normal with hot water and heating. Our house in Peel is very well insulated and has retained the warmth from leaving the heating on yesterday afternoon.
Stopped by the cemetery to leave some flowers on mam and dad’s grave. White chrysanths. Was nice just to be there by myself.
Then met THG, Mike, Richard and Jacqui for the Silver Surfers lunch at the Boatyard Restaurant. Two courses for £11.50 or three for £14.50. What’s not to like! This is the first time I have availed myself of an offer open only to those over the age of sixty! OMFG sign of the times.
Back home an sms bombshell from the IoM Steam Packet Co hit. Tomorrow’s sailing is at risk and will be assessed by the skipper at oh six forty five tomorrow morning. Exactly the time we will be leaving for Douglas to catch the boat!
Now this is the thing. If we don’t go tomorrow there is no way we will be getting away before Monday as the weather forecast is deteriorating. I’ve cancelled the Liverpool Hilton tomorrow night as it needs doing before midnight – 6.45 am is too late. Can easily rebook. Then I have until 2pm Saturday to decide whether to cancel the Hoxton in London. I will know tomorrow. John will need to find a pal to go to the Hermanos Gutierrez gig if that happens. Shame as we planned this ages ago.
At least we have the house in Peel with a now fixed central heating system. Island living…
