I need to wait till Albert gets home so I can say goodbye, it's 4pm and he's running about at Active Fun. He gets home late and I give him the biggest squeeze... "I love you! Be good for mummy, I am going away for 2 nights to Malaga" .... (Albert knows exactly where Malaga is in Spain, he loves Geography and is so clever with knowing his countries and flags etc)
  So I'm in the Golf R cruising up the M23 singing my heart out to 80's classics on Heart 80's until I hit traffic on the M25... now I'm worrying I won't get to Martin's for 18:24, The traffic clears and off I go again, straight through the Dartford Tunnel and already up 8 minutes on my satnav schedule. I stop at a petrol station for a bottle of water (that's important) and a large packet of hot wotsits (not so important and unhealthy). I get to Martin's and Carol opens the door "he's out at the barbers" she says. John Hussey welcomes me in and we have a chat about what we've been watching recently and obviously brings up in conversation my dad. We sit down and have a lovely chilli (with no chilli). We sit down and continue chatting, it's always great to see John and hear what he has to say.
 
It's nearly midnight, John leaves, Carol goes to bed and Martin and I stay up have a rum and coke and chat mainly about Dor2Dor. Bed at 1am as we have to leave at 5:50am
