Shittington.
Lost long post with lots of detail. Shorter post, prolly better. My ideal, if I can get thetime off. I come up Thurs 02/01/14 overnight. Friday night 03/01/14 in Arran - never enough but get to say hello to Cyd as well as Jasp & Mr Limey. Limes & I travel into Glasgow Sat 04/01/13, book into Alamo. Dani comes in ASAP and does not miss train as is MATINEE. Dinner after panto. Maybe take-away in room if either Limey or Dani are staying. Cherry back home on overnight bus same night. Not ideal, but I do need to know ASPA. Not my usual excitement but I now have a job where Xmas and New Year need booking WAAAAAY in advance. I may even have missed my chance. Which will be my bad, I'm coming up tp Glasgow regardless. But it means REPLIES, REPLIES, REPLIES ASAP. Please. |
hmm. I thought we were coming up the night before, doing overnight in alamo and going to the matinee, then i was gonna go straight home and you go to Arran?
Or something like... I'd find it quite difficult to get up to Glasgow on the day and get there before the matinee. And More than an overnight is a bit much for Mum with the two dogs (particularly since Nelle is having trouble with her dew claws, so Mum needs to keep a close eye on Carrot and her playing). |
That was one of my suggestions in the long post!
We'll wait for the Limes because I can work to that. @Cept Arran part of trip may no longer be poss - don't think I had this job then. Or I did and forgot. Or I did and conveniently fogot because I hate limey. Or more likely I was either drunk or (these days) on super-snoozy drugs. Anyway, as long as you know it might be my fault but there is an excuse, okay? If I miss Arran at Christmastide I will make real, proper, dfinite plans to go in the Summer in 2014. Want to take something more for Brianna. Like before, nothing valuable, and like before it's bound to be raining. Just a remembrance. |
Whoops! I have tickets for 2pm performance on Sat 4th January 2014. All and any are welcome at any time, let me know what suits!

My plans seem to be:
Come on up daytime coach to arrive in Glasgow teatime Friday 3 January. Limey and Dani to do same with varying arrival times according to transport. Stay over said Friday night at Alamo, our GTG. Poke me with sticks if I try to go to sleep early. Matinee panto next day on Saturday 4 January. Dani goes home after show. Limey and I go to Arran (need confirmation that this is possible crossing-wise) Stay two-three nights on Arran, seeing M Limey and les chats de chaux. Come back again on daytime or standard overnight bus. As far as I can tell I have plenty of holiday in reserve, so although the sleeper is fun, and looks better than ever now, I'd rather pay a £12 fare than £50. Yesyesyes I said I'd never-not-ever do the standard bus again. But needs must when time rich/ cash poor raises its head and I have Pythons to see next year. It's all dependent on whether the Limes are available and whether the bus times match up with the Arran-Glasgow schedule. Worst comes to worst I can stay a single night at an Ibis or something. Note - how bout Mother India on Friday? Eat in or take away? Tried and tested. Nom nom nom. And please can we forgo any alcofrolics? Sorry, it's just too soon for me to be tempted. I really need support to stay on the wagon. I can cope with things like eggnog or cocktails in the same way I can wave away a slice of cake. It's general bevvies that will be very hard for me to resist. Thank you, thank you, thank you. |
Looks like a plan certainly :). I can't remember what time the panto ends but we need to be on a train out of Glasgow central at ten to five to catch the last boat ....

Oh, and I have a gourmet society card which may give us some interesting dining options. I'll research that, too ...

14.00 matinee finishes approx 16.15... Looks like it's two nights at the Alamo for thee and me, I'm sure Steve will let us change rooms or discount us though. |
What if we take a cab from the theatre?

I'll leave it in your hands, you have a better idea of travel times/ what is possible.

I still think limey is a female james bond and y'all are planning something like mission impossible

No....we're Charlie's Angels.
Which begs the question....who's Charlie? |
you three could be my angels anytime!

Have just gone on camera hunt, to make sure all is well and good and this time I will not have any drama.
Drama has already started, as Dad has taken mine and Mum's cameras in some weird attempt to find "a working camera". No Dad. I have a camera. Mum has a camera. Keep your mitts off. Sadly all cameras have gone into hiding in protest. Mum is in a big sulk so I am determinedly being cheerful about it. I will do a proper search tomorrow; the 'rents will be in Oxford for a hospital appointment and I will the run of the house. Can't easily access all areas when it's dark and Diz is waowing and scratching to be let in/ out of my door. Not Dad's fault, I should keep my electronics under lock & key because I know he gets puzzled and "tidies them away". |
