Holidays 2018

[proactive]

It's actually not very frightening as by the time you realise what's happened it's already finished and you know you're ok.

Besides my mind was concentrating at driving at what I considered to be a somewhat risky 20mph in the torrential rain and deep standing water at the time whilst wagons were blasting by at 60 as if nothing was occurring!

Those crazy Italians...

@Carole I went to Edinburgh Fringe this year it was AMAZING!!

Will your son be there next year?

I looked out for him but couldn't remember his surname?

In the end I saw:

Philosophy & Comedy
Voldemort The Teenage Years the Musical
Vulvarine the Musical
Best of Burlesque

Best night out in a long time!

@Gramaisc was giving you a clue....my sons name is Hylton.
I expect he’ll be there next year.

This was the queue to get in to see his show on the Saturday that we were there.

We also had a fantastic Fringe. Averaged 7 shows a day starting at lunchtime, right through until the evening.
One of the shows was a comedy impressionist, Luke Kempner who I thought was brilliant. Then by coincidence I noticed he was on TV last night on a impression show with Alexander Armstrong.

Next 2018 holiday in October, a Med cruise. Taking son and his girlfriend with us. We’re having two nights in Barcelona before picking up the cruise from there. Taking in Naples, Rome, Livorno (for Florence), Cannes, Palma. Been to most of the places before but there is always something new to see. So a wonderful mix of culture and fun.

Discount, if you queued on one leg?

Discount, if you queued on one leg?

You get an even bigger discount if you happen to be the comedians parents , promise to sit at the back, be quiet and don’t heckle.

 

[Gramaisc]

A few minutes of one-legged queueing seems much less hassle...

She used to be a flamingo but had to put her foot down

I remember, not long after "Pretty Flamingo" was a hit record, moving to a place which had thousands of wild flamingos on a salt lake that I passed most days - I then discovered that, close to, they aren't really that pretty.

Counting down now. Off to sunny Sorrento tomorrow.

[age'd parent]

Just back from a week on Shell island, rain, sun, sea, sand, sex, booze, films and crisps with cheese dip at night, sea lions in the bay, and sent to sleep by the sound of waves breaking 50 yards away from our feet, bloody glorious!

Possibly a few days in France in November now as well.....
