We're off

I'm up early this morning. It's still dark, not helped by the greyness of the day. But I'm excited. We're off to Liverpool later today for our brief break & to see the Mark Rothko exhibition. Now I'm just hoping it isn't going to snow. We're half-wondering whether we should pack extra clothing, a couple of blankets & a shovel just in case. It seems a little over the top since most of the journey will be on the motorway.

Nor have we decided whether to take the laptop. It really could do with a visit to the shop for a repair. (I'd moisturised my hands. The laptop slipped straight through my hands with a resounding thump on the floor.) We don't even know if there is wifi facilities at the hotel so assume there will be silence for a day or two while we're off enjoying ourselves.

Last night I had a panic as I suddenly realised that next Monday is the last Monday of the month & I'd done nothing about arranging a meal for us all. I had a quick phone round. Now we're all set for a meal at the pub we had our Xmas Day lunch. Everybody seems keen to go so hopefully it will be good.

But first, it's Liverpool here we come.
