5th Jan 2011

We were up early and I headed off for Stansted, leaving Mal behind coughing and spluttering but with plenty of medicenes, I also had a large amount packed in my case.

I returned the hire car only to be told that there was a stone chip on the windscreen which I would have to pay for. Of course I hadn’t noticed this as it was the passenger side. No, they couldn’t tell me how much it would be. So, I gathered all the paperwork together and posted it to Mal so that he can sort it out. Just one more problem to add to the long list. We have an annual hire car excess insurance.

I think I slept most of the way, I still felt very rough. It was a Pegasus flight and the plane was nearly full. Chris was waiting for me at Ercan, the plane was on time. Chris dropped me off at home and asked if everything was alright. I told him yes it was fine and it wasn’t until I sat down to have a cup of tea that I felt my feet squelch on the wet rug.  I had been told that there had been a lot of rain two days ago and obviously the repair to our chimney had not worked and the living room floor was soaked. I went to bed!!!
