starting tomorrow,
Maggie kindly said she would water our Venus fly traps, so to save her watering lots of pots I put them all in one tray in the hall, I also left her plenty of RO water,
as tap water kills fly traps,
and here they are,
a couple of close ups,
with only one exception they have all grown remarkably well, next the fire alarm company called by and tested the building's fire alarm for its 6 monthly check, all was well,
after that out of the park,
and onto a number 54 bus to the shop, I had a empty water container that needed filling,
arriving home time for a read,
Diana had left me a chicken biryani,
which was delicious, 'Cheers!',
onto a number 354 bus to meet Steve, in a stroke of good luck I noticed a 227 bus about to join the main road, so I alighted at Big Catch, Beckenham's fish and chip restaurant, and caught the bus to Penge where I meet up with Steve in the Moon & Stars for a few pints, we chatted the night away until it was time to say farewell for a few weeks as we made a move to our homes,
I was lucky again with the bus, a 227 arriving just minuets after we did at the bus stop, off of the bus in Beckenham and past the church,
in the graveyard the cyclamen still looking nice, I just beat Diana home who was soon off to bed as she has a early start at her last day at work tomorrow before our holiday, for myself one from It Ain't Half Hot Mum, before I too was off to bed.
Dear Stanley and Diana-Alley and I hope you both have a wonderful trip, full of fun, happiness and laughter. Enjoy your time and best wishes to you both for a very safe and memorable trip. Diana, this was so nice of you to plan and execute all the details. We know it was a real and wonderful surprise for Stanley and also nice you can spend some valuable time with your dear family.

Dear John and Alley, many thanks for your kind thoughts, Diana has worked so hard to fund all of this, and I can imagine booking flights and hotels from the Philippines must have been a nightmare for her! She has done so well, I am really proud of her, as she is with her British passport!, best regards, Stan and Diana.
