Post 7/2024. We’re here. Indiana to Cornwall. Arrived Friday at 5:30pm. Smooth sailing via ride to the South Bend airport, change of planes in Atlanta for overnight flight to London, train to St Erth, car to Carbis Bay. Greeted with mizzle Friday evening; fog and rain today. Dinner at Beck’s Restaurant proved fine as usual. Chatted with two couples whom we know and a few members of staff.

We have some strides to go to improve wi-fi connectivity. Also need to get a cable to download shots from my camera. That’s one are of only two things of the kit and caboodle that I failed to pack.

Posted photos are from my phone. Shots from back home appear at the bottom. Will get the wi-fi and downloading conundrum sorted. Glad to be here. I’m missing part of the TV show Pointless. See you next week.

Help, I’m Trapped in My Duvet: The Most Ridiculous Emergency Calls

The book is by Howard Lester. One sample:

Caller: I want to report a seagull.

Operator: Can you tell me why? What is the seagull doing?

Caller: It’s sitting in the garden looking sad. It’s raining heavily outside.

Operator: Looking sad? What emergency service do you need?

Caller: Can’t you send someone to look after it?

Operator: I’m afraid not. You could try a local bird sanctuary.

Cheerio,
