The day of the meet dawned early........too early! I awoke to find a demented kitten trying to chew my ear. After a judicious phrase of reproach I managed to roll over and grab another hour's sleep! So it was at 6am I finally rose, with some trepidation, to see what ( or who) the day would bring! After a Timmies™ Karen and I descended upon the motel to see what was going on.. and what goings on there were! We sat and chatted - there seemed so much to talk about and it was just like we were old friends. Most people had arrived by mid morning but Karen and I still had a last task - to set off and find Marty and S-fŕ who were arriving at the train station. We arrived there early. They, however were late... the train was delayed. So we sat and we waited and grumbled unpleasantly at each other whilst smiling pleasantly as those around us. That was when I realised just how good Karen was at cussing Canadian!
Eventually they turned up. Marty looked a little bemused and S-fŕ - well I couldn't see how he looked cos he was too damm tall! We hurried off to the motel to check them in where it transpired that S-fŕ did indeed have a screw loose and subsequently seemed to have lost it altogether! What's more he expected US to find it for him!!! Finally the mayhem died down. S-fŕ managed to book in without losing anything else but his credibility and to top it all he found the screw and mended his glasses!
