Back to reality

Arrived back in England on a big jet plane this morning. It has been a day of not achieving very much. We arrived home with a note under the door to say that our gas had been turned off due to some problem they were having almost two weeks ago. After about 4 phone calls the gasman has just arrived (yes at 8:40pm) almost 12 hours after being told someone would be here within 4 hours. Needless to say the two of us are grumpy cold and stinky.

We had a good stay in Cape Town. Fran enjoyed the two oceans marathon but unfortunately did not finish it. He was stopped at the 42.2 km cut off point as his time was too slow. I think he underestimated the local conditions and hills. Now he is very determined to do it next year.

School starts tomorrow BOO HOO but I will be working from home. Lots of marking and sorting out to do on my PPA day.
