A slightly rough night on a too small sofa bed, but Kodi kept me company. Slightly cooler this morning.
Waited intil Matt appeared, then breakfast bacon roll plenty of tea and coffe then away.
went to Goldthorpe to pay a visit to Welfare View then on to Bolton Cemetary to try to find Granma and Grandad's grave. No luck.
Uneventful journey to the Hoy's where, as usual I was well lokked after.
Well it early started badly. My 9.45 ferry turned out to be 9.05. Fortunately I checked just in time and I was far enough along with the packing to be away in time to check in. I found myself sat next to Suzie Dick on the boat, who was off on a trip to Largs with her family. An uneventful crossing but filled with a vague sense of dread which only got worse once I started to drive on the other side. A mixed bag of feelings; of loneliness with empty seat alongside me, some sort of betrayal, leaving Sue and the island behind and just an all pervading sadness. Mix this with a bit of hit the spot music and I was struggling to hold the flood back...but I did with a bit of leakage, An early stop to regroup and get some snacks and the enotional worst was behind me, at least for now. From there on the biggest battle was against tiredness, I was so sleepy. Another stop, a power nap and I was at Matts. parked on the pavemnent opposite his house in Normanton. Really fun afternoon and evening. Dog...
