Back for Mo's birthday. Dinner (quail, veg & roast potatoes), drinks & cards- nice evening.

Awful weather today- picked up Rachel & Alan from East Calder and drove through terrible road conditions to our hotel in Edinburgh. Punctured tyre on arrival- hassle sorting it out with Hertz- no spare kept in car- no tyre found in area so car towed away Sunday morning leaving us to make our own way to see the grandchildren in Dalkeith and then Edinburgh airport for midday. Took full cover out with Rental cars so now need to get reimbursed through them- more ...

A grey, wet and windy day in Glasgow. A quick wander in town- all decked out for the festive season. A few drinks with the family before driving to Edinburgh tomorrow- weather warnings all over. Thanks to Dino for listening to Jimmy all night!

Our house- not! Arrived back to the UK safe n sound!

Breakfast in the 'Bridge' at Terminal 4 Heathrow. Flight delayed to the precise time of 11:11- we shall see! Next entry will be planned for the short stop at Abu Dhabi airport. Keeping my distance from Jimmy who has not stopped sneezing since 5am. Manflu is the self-diagnosis........
