Friday 21st November - If it sounds too good to be true...

...it definitely was!

Damn!! Eventually I met the man with the i4; the boat was immaculate and my cash was in his pocket before he could say "I'll have the cash".

Unfortunately, as I strapped my new cruiser onto the car roof, my disbelieving eyes fell on a large "M" moulded into the plastic.

"M". As in Medium. As in not Large.

As in "I will sink if you cram yourself into me and imagine I'll float on anything less dense than mercury".

As in "Oh s**t - I have to get my money back.....!

Which I did, no problemo. It then took me all of 30 seconds to get over the fact that I had "found a penny but lost a pound" as my dear old dad used to say. Still, no worries, Sue and I were of to Betws Y Coed to meet John and Lucy for a brew and the start of a team AW weekend. After a brew (though why anyone would choose to drink cinnamon and Orangutan poo tea is beyond me - I stuck to coffee, call me unadventurous!) they headed back to Corwen where John had a question to put to Lucy, while we were off shopping and then to the Swallow Falls hotel.

Sue tried on just about every drytop in Rock Bottom before dissolving in a fit of giggles (well, pool of sweat didn't sound so lady like) and giving that plan up as a bad job, so we settled on dinner at Ty Gwyn and a bottle of red to watch News at Ten by...

The really good news is that Lucy said "Yes". Huge congratulations to both of you and hope that you are as happy into the future as you so obviously are now.
