I have my tickets for the Outer Hebridies. It’s going to be a busy trip. I have to check in at Stanstead at 10.45 tomorrow morning. That’s after getting back home, packing and driving to the airport - not a prospect I relish after tonight’s late night coach back from Birmingham.
I then have several hours of sitting around in Edinburgh airport, waiting for a two-hour flight to Stornoway. Quite how slow we’ll be going to make it last two hours, I don’t know. It’s not that far. Perhaps we’ll be picking up and dropping off people along the way.
From there we go to the Park Guest House for a dinner of ‘local produce’ (hmmm…). Meetings the next morning, then down to the harbour in the afternoon to see the end of the Hebridean Challenge.
I leave at 9.10 the next morning (Saturday) and get to Stanstead at lunchtime, so I’ll be back in time for Jon’s birthday (or Sandy’s, if Jon is celebrating his next week). Not that much time to see the island, though, which is a shame. I would much rather have extended it for a day and come home on Sunday.
Bumped into Phil on the train again this morning. That’s the second time in a week - not bad considering we’ve not seen each other in about two years. He told me all about his night at the Baftas and made me very jealous.
He was on the next table to the cast of EastEnders, apparently, which proves that nothing in life is entirely good.
