We had a nice, quiet start to the day. I had the cousins' call for the first time in several weeks. What became clear was that we have the travel bug. We had just returned from our cruise, Tim had just booked a Christmas cruise, Chris had just returned to his home in Turkey after a month in Switzerland and southern Germany, Rolly (in Australia) had just booked a beach holiday in Fiji, Simon and Sarah (from Australia) were island hopping in the Aegean, Sarah and John had been to the Apple Store in Tunbridge Wells, and Maggie has been shopping in Margate!
No sooner had I finished the call than Kim arrived at the door. She had just finished at the chiropractor and was due to get her flu jab... as were we. We had an exciting family outing to the surgery and had the jab (all the time I was thinking "Stuff you, RFK"). Back home, we had a couple of hours to chat with Kim and catch up on her university course and Jon's trials and tribulations at work (which seem to be settling).
After some lunch, Diane headed upstairs to do some laundry and pack some clothes away. I took the opportunity to catch up on the ironing. Other than that, it has been a lazy afternoon. What I did do, however, was look at the practicality of flying to St John's (YYT) in Newfoundland, then taking a two-week road trip across to Montreal or Quebec. With the help of AI, I optimised the distance each day, decided on stopovers and also on things worth visiting en route. It was an interesting exercise. I'm not sure whether it will come to anything, but it was worth the effort.
