I woke up very early today and left the house at 5.40am to take my brother in law to the airport, so he could get to work in Limerick on time. Once at Stanstead I was able to get home via a much faster route, avoiding the M25 entirely. I was back home at 11am, but feeling shattered and with a very upset stomach, which hasn’t yet settled. Damned dulse!

Geoff was working all day and I did bits and bobs, as well as a bit of snoozing. The weather is really autumnal with strong winds and rain. Not as bad as in Scotland though. I heard all about it from my uncle Bruce. Happy birthday again!
