If you saw a family getting on your plane with two very spotty small boys, would you be pleased? Tomorrow we are flying to Dublin and, to ensure maximum alarm, we are then getting the train to Cork. I have prepared little labels for the boys’ tops saying “yes we look hideous, but no, we’re not infectiousâ€.
Meanwhile, the Princess has been wheeling a small trolley round the house for the past week saying “Bun, water, tea, cwips?” Our last trip was with Virgin airlines and they offer muffins and Pringle’s crisps and this has made a lasting impression on our heroine. I do not think that Aer Lingus offers Pringle’s crisps. Yesterday Mr. Waffle arrived home from work with a box of Pringle’s stashed in his coat pocket. This evening I came home to find a wailing Princess “Daddy won’t give me cwips”. Our eagle eyed daughter had seen them nestling in the top shelf of the cupboard. She was given two on the understanding that the rest are to be saved for tomorrow’s plane journey. I really can’t wait.
And, on a separate matter, I see Mr. Waffle was entirely right about yesterday’s post. It is hard to be married to a man who is never wrong.
I wanted to prove Mr Waffle wrong and wondered if I could compose a review based on what I had gleaned from your review but I was both too lazy and stupid. But tell Mr W that it ain’t over yet……
Have a great trip back.
good luck …
Flying today? I hope they let you take hand luggage on the Dublin flight …
Heather, please. Don’t make me beg. And you’d like the LRB>
