Not an Auspicious Beginning
Yes, it's nearly 3:00 pm and I'm still at home.
Bar missed her flight this morning and had to go on standby for the next available one, which wasn't until almost 4 hours later. She won't arrive until nearly 5pm, which will put us at the beach around 9:00 instead of 4:30.
And when we started packing the cars ... my trunk refused to open. Neither the electric key nor the button on the door will work, and it's one of those new-fangled ones that doesn't even have a keyhole for emergencies! We had to Tetris everything into my back seat and try to fit most of it into Pip's car. He can barely see out his mirror, but we managed to fit everything in. I might try to get the car repaired while we're down there if I can find a dealership ...
At least Pip and Patrick will do the grocery shopping and have dinner ready when we get there, even if we have to reheat it.
