Okay- packing up the last bits and pieces, and starving poor doggy ready for her op tomorrow. Sheesh. Wish I wasnt going now. But this holiday was originally booked as an escape from the stress of the last 12 years looking after my elderly mother, who sadly died last autumn. But of course life cannot leave me in peace, so now I have dog trauma to deal with and I would rather be here and, if she survives the op, make sure her post operative care is good. I am sure my dear boy will do his best for her and I shall have to trust him.

So I must finish packing and sorting out my clear plastic bags of no more than 8 inches to put clear liquids in etc etc and making sure my handbag fits in my one piece of cabin luggage. Oh boy. This is to put my Bach rescue remedy in as I am phobic about flying. If I am not drugged up to the eye balls and full of liquor I cant hack flying at all. Anyway I think I shant want to be flying anymore after this trip because of the potential nasty scenario of global warming. And if anyone remains to be convinced on this just have a look at this weeks Sunday Times magazine.It is truly frightening and we should all be putting our differences aside for now and pulling together to save the poor planet from our terrbile lack of care to it thus far. It's one thing to not know, it's quite another thing to know, to be warned and then do sod all about it.

So, Go Green.............
