Looks like we will be leaving as planned on Friday according to our airlines website and the airspace is fully open and there were planes in the sky's today, a strange sight after 5 days of silence.

Alexander is asking when he will see his Scrufts again and he is asking about kindy all the time now.

I was thrilled to find 2 more character jugs by Royal Dalton today in the local charity shop, just 7 pound each. I also found a lovely little Next handbag for 3 pound also.

Mark, Sharon and Adam are on their way back from Tenerife as I type, so we will get just two more days to spend with them before we go, I know a shopping trip and lunch is called for and Dave will get a pub night with Mark, and Alexander a play with Adam too.

I'm pretty sure we will need another suitcase to return home with again this time along with the three we came with :-)
