In which a Volcano Stops Play.....

After spending a few days with the family here in the UK I'm settling back into 

the British way of life nicely. Had a couple of visits to the pub, my fave of all British 

Traditions.... last night was hilarious, the particular pub we went to has a little

room in the back, very traditional.  I think they call it a snug. 

Anyhoo... there were a bunch of old men in there just enjoying a pint and putting 

the world to rights. It seemed they would all talk at once, then there'd be a few

moments of silence while they reflected and then it would start again. 

Then at one point "the Mrs" of one of them poked her head in the door and 

up he jumped, grabbed his coat and followed her home. Sweet. 

We grabbed a Chinese take away when we left and my GOD it was 

soooo awesome!!!! Really bad for you and I'll have a lot of work to do 

when I get home to shed all the pounds I'm gathering along the way.

So.. and in true McGilly tradition, nothing goes smoothly... in this case we have 

a cloud of volcanic ash over the UK, it's halted all flights... yes nothing 

minimal here, not just a few delays or anything... ALL FLIGHTS CANCELLED!

Heathrow Airport is quieted, as is Gatwick and EVERY AIRPORT

in the COUNTRY!!!! wtf??? So while his gorgeousness panics about 

the logistics of it all, I am calmly checking the websites and seeing 

what the developments are. If all goes well I can fly home as planned on 

Sunday, if not I'll just hang around and maybe shop a little more! hee hee.

Well gotta go now and get ready to head South, we're off to my old 

stomping ground to see my old friends and guess what... we're going

to the pub!!! Whooop Whooop. Catch ya later bloggers!!!!
