Fiona's Quiet Life

The last time i saw any­thing that looked like the photo was some years ago when? driv­ing from Dauville to Le Tou­quet, we sud­denly saw the Eif­fell Tower ahead.….….…this had to be wrong as both those places are on the north coast of france and paris is about a third of the way inland..oops!!.….….…this sort of thing happened a lot when driv­ing around europe with Basil, we would get deep into con­ver­sa­tion and miss signs, for­tu­nately as we were not on any kind of sched­ule it did not mat­ter where we ended up. life with him was quite and adventure.

any­way this ver­sion of the tower was in Las Vagas, there seemed to be egypt and italy in the same street.? the town wasn’t as taw­dry as i had expec­ted and was won­der­fully clean,.…..

.….….…tomor­row night i am attend­ing a Dinner/Ball in aid of the Hope char­ity , the one all the trekking was for, and one of the things that has been given us to auc­tion for the? char­ity is a week­end in Las Vagas , busi­ness class flights, stay­ing at the vene­tian hotel and tikets for Barry Manilow plus meet­ing him afterwards.….…..

now had it been Neil Dia­mond i might have been temp­ted to bid.

I am in Lon­don stay­ing with Abi­gail etc.? younger grand­daugh­ter and i had fun last night try­ing on our dresses.

the boiler is broken and has to be replaced.….…maybe we should all decamp to a hotel

it was minus 6 last night and all is lovely and frosty.

think i will go shop­ping now, see if there is any­thing worth buy­ing as? christ­mas presents.……Marisa has done all hers already.….….…..if there is noth­ing to be found in Lon­don? per­haps i will go to Copen­ha­gen , there are some beau­ti­ful shops there. com­ing back via Nicola’s to give wee Nathan his second birth­day present.
