Friday May 30, 2014

It is overcast and drizzly.  We are in England during British summer time which means it doesn’t get dark until 9:30 p.m. and is light by 4:30 a.m.  Consequently, I was awake the first time at 4:45 and then again at 6:00 a.m.  After breakfast, we walked over to my Dad’s place and carried our bikes to the bike shop and then had a little wander around Long Eaton.  We spent another couple of hours with Dad and were back at Lindsey and Nick’s place for dinner.

It is Ralf’s birthday today (Friday).  I hadn’t got the time to get him a card, but Lindsey had a boxful of them, so I picked one.  I am hoping to buy him a new Garmin as his birthday present.  Lindsey, Millie and I sang him a happy birthday, which he really enjoyed.  We all have beautiful voices.  Lindsey also got him a lovely chocolate cake with candles.

We arranged to go to see Joy on Sunday, and stay until Tuesday.  I booked tickets on-line again and got a good deal with the return fare paying only 1 pound.  We will be arriving at Joy and John’s place at 18:30.

Ralf is suffering with jetlag. I am not doing too bad although, I am sleepy by 9:30 p.m.
