Travel Quote

I was asking one of my kids, Stella, how her flight from America to Scotland went and she told me this:

"Today morning, I was confused yesterday night, because I went to sleep then I was woke up and was told to eat breakfast, and i was upset because it was night and i just went to sleep."

Poor girl, time change is so hard for kids sometimes!

Two Weeks Of Office Work

After being with my choir for a week I was asked to come early to Lisburn, Northern Ireland to help out in the office for two weeks prior to the choirs arrival.

It was a variety of different things that I helped out with: phone calls, tour details, prepping things for the bus, etc. And in the non-office hours I enjoyed time out with friends. A lovely tour of a castle and the Giants Causeway. And beautiful flat of my own. Although I feel like I should have something great and interesting to say, it was kind of a couple of normal work weeks except that I was in a different country while doing the work. Although I have to say, the sights were quite different and I was very excited about those, and it was lovely to see my friends over here.

Most of all, I am looking forward to my team and children to be here with me. I was just settling in with them, when I came over here. So although I have had a lovely time I am really looking forward to Tuesday when they arrive!

Nail Polish Remover and Doughnuts

Shampoo and lotion are a normal something something to explode and get all over your suitcase when flying. How about finger nail polish remover. Yes indeed that was the exploding bottle of choice. But naturally I am a smart packer at this point in my life and have all my bottles of stuff in plastic bags. But it still did quite number on my stuff, everything stank of nail polish remover, and that is not nice. But after a good cleaning and airing out my bag over night things were put to right….Stupid bottle.

On another note I would like to report that a ziplock bag of original Krispy Kreme doughnuts when put in a shoulder bag between a laptop and a book and make the long trip from the USA to Northern Ireland, do eventually become flattened like pancakes. Here is the important part… these pancake like doughnuts taste just as good! I have continued eating them the couple days I have been here and despite the laughs from other people I stick by my decision that they are as good as ever…in fact I think I will eat another one right now!
