her: You have not even blogged about Barcelona yet me: Well I was going to, and then I couldn't find the card reader to process the pictures, and then when I eventually got to look at them they weren't all that and now it's been a fortnight it doesn't seem worth talking about it really. her: I think you should anyway, it doesn't matter if it didn't happen yesterday, and it will be fun reading what went wrong. me: what makes you think anything went wrong? her: *you* arranged it didn't you? Contrary to popular belief (see above), not every thing I organise goes completely wrong. I used to book people's business travel for a living after all and non of the techies I sent to the other side of the world to fix poorly networks ever complained about the arrangements (it could have been because they were a bit scared of me mind you). So this time nothing went badly wrong... flights /and/ room were booked for the duration. No trecking around looking for somewhere to sleep for the night like the time I took MFC away for a bank holiday in North Wales . However, I did forget to check the small print on the diary I used to book the week-end away and found out afterwards that 6th August is NOT a bank holiday in England, only in Scotland and in Ireland . Minor detail. I also failed to notice that the outbound and inbound flights did not use the same London airport (Heathrow outbound and Gatwick inbound) so the plan to park the car outside Him Indoors' place and tubing the rest didn't quite work out and it meant there wasn't really much in the way of options for getting home from Gatwick at the time we landed (I am however still amazed the minicab at Clapham Junction was actually licensed ). Still, no disasters.
And what about Barcelona?
