Last night I went to the fiesta to watch the floats. It was a good evening, lots of music (as Spanish fiestas always have) and loads of people having a great time. It's a shame that Lynne didn't manage to come out earlier as I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more with company, but I still had a good time. The picture is of one of the floats. Every so often they would stop, the pit crew would run out and change the tyres around while the pit boss timed them - brilliant!
I rushed home afterwards with a fab pizza from the new kebab shop in the village and settled down for an early night as I had to be up early to go and get Lynne from the airport.
It was still dark when I woke at 6.30am, and trying not to disturb the dogs I quietly logged onto the computer to check that Lynne's flight had left OK. Unfortunately the news was not good - DELAYED was the message that appeared next to her flight number. Almost immediately, I received a text from her saying that her flight was delayed until at least 10am (she was supposed to have flown at 5.20am). As Manfred (a neighbour) was supposed to be giving me a lift to the airport I had to let him know, and then by that time the dogs were off, so I took them for a walk. Returning back I text Lynne again, feeling so sorry for her that the first day of her holiday was being messed up like this. She said they had now been told the flight wouldn't leave until 5.15pm! They were being taken to a hotel for breakfast and lunch, but understandably she's not very happy. I just hope they actually leave at that time and it isn't delayed any further!
Also just a quick word to wish Paul lots of good luck. He's racing today at Brands Hatch - let's hope he's on the podium again.
