What started out to be a simple day of packing .. got more complicated as the day went on....
About half an hour before due to leave for airport a neighbour appeared at the door to inform us we had a dead possum hanging by it's tail from our guttering...further to this...it was discovered by his young daughter who's bedroom window is directly opposite. Whats more it's been there a few days and is looking rather bloated.
Can't possibly leave it for 4 weeks whilst we travel - the girl would be totally traumatised.
Andrew thinks he can possibly lean out upstairs bathroom window and dislodge it.... possum swings from side to side...doesn't budge. Next tries a long pruning saw... just slides off possum tail dislodging lots of fur... yuck! Next and final option long pruning loppers.. eek....but success, possum drops to the ground...cleaning up process begins.
Anyway the day didn't get much better.. arrived at airport to be told we weren't seated together on flight. AJ not happy as he had prebooked seats and actually had printed confirmation of the seats he had booked..........2 hours later...after much ado... we had our seats, no time for leisurely lounge, stuffed around at currency exchange.... finally get through as flight nearly fully boarded and officious woman jumps out at me and says I have to have a drug and explosives search...What!!!!!!within seconds I'm being told to open my bags.. stand with my arms spread out so she can do a PAT DOWN... turn around...one more pat down....the world has gone crazy...by the time we got on the plane we were both absolutely exhausted.
