Very Nice Weekend!
Filed Under Daily
I went to my parents’ place near Paris this weekend. It was very nice and relaxing. The food was excellent and I miss good cuisine. My parents cook better than many restaurants I’ve tried and I’ve paid very expensive meals up to 100 AUD a meal without enjoying them as much as home’s cooking. My lolita is old, very old, the years have such a strong effect on her. My parents and my brother look like the same and I have not seen them for more than 4 years. The trip was so simple that I will check time to time for good deals to fly back during the weekend. It takes about 4 hours and 40 min in total: An hour to go to the airport, an hour for a direct flight Manchester-Paris, and an hour to drive home and an extra hour and 40 min for waiting between these events. The cost was 132 GBP for the plane ticket plus 5.20 GBP for the bus fare (return ticket).
My fancy phone is very nice. It worked right away a soon as I landed in France. It switched to Orange FR and I could use it as if I was in England. I really like it very much, fancy look and extremely useful.
During my absence, my hiking buddies, Dave M and Dave E were planning a trip to Scotland and they asked me if I wanted to join them next weekend. I said yes but it was funny to read their posts about me. I have told them the reason why I never joined a long weekend trip with the hiking club even though I never missed a one day trip. So here are their comments about me:
post 1 from Dave E: “I also doubt Pierre will come if we camp he likes his home comforts too much.”
post 2 from Dave M: “Forgot about Pierre – he will need his ensuite facilities probably. I sent him a link to this thread so he’ll hopefully be reading when he gets back and can give his requirements if he wants to come.”
