off to Santorini in Greece early next week. Last day at work today and counting down the hours. Of course nothing goes according to plan as I've knacked the car by putting too much oil in it - bastard thing guzzles oil and then when you remember to feed it this is what happens. Getting it looked at today in my absence
- can't really cope with car stuff on any level except the driving it bit. Hope I haven't knacked it for good otherwise getting to the airport will be a pain and more expense
Hope it will be ok in Greece, I feel torn going there. A lovely country to visit and very friendly interesting people who treat children with much more warmth than the average British person so a good place to go with young uns. Know that tourism is a big part of their economy so pleased to enjoy their hospitality but also don't like the idea of visiting somewhere where the standard of living is in such peril.
Think it could be our last family holiday with my eldest who is 17 the day we go. Half expected him to say he didn't want to come with us. My wife and I had set our hearts on Cornwall but when he said can we go to Greece again we were swayed by that sad thought. He's off to Reading the day after we get back - poor soul is a fan of Bring Me The Horizon and their ilk but pleased he is bothered about music at all - so could be a turning point in our lives as a family.
