Counting the days ( hours )

[kathy]

Jan, I am joking of course! We will behave like ladies!
What time do you land?
We are about 3.15pm local time. ;D ;D ;D

[Enforcer]

Jan, I endorse Kathy’s comment about ladies.

It only goes pear-shaped when the witches of Eastwick Hamlet get deposited at KS during the first week of September. They tend to arrive at KS quite early because of the massive police escort!

[Kinygos]

Oh dear Enforcer!
You really need to read up on the induced take technique for upstream nymphing!
You placed that fly in such a heavy handed (military?) manner that it was not in the least tempting. Major Olly would be ashamed of you!

Would you like the use of my tender during your stay?
One seat for rowing. Directionally stable and no "inflatable willy".

[kathy]

I had better make sure in future years, I avoid them at all costs then Enforcer ... I am easily led and influenced by shady characters! ;D

[Enforcer]

Difficult Kathy, difficult.

kinygos, perhaps it was a tad but I subscribe to the Stalinist methodology – Might is Right.

Thank you for your kind offer and do not worry about the inflatable toy, if I speak to Carol ever so nicely she might let me play with her inflatable thingy.

Enforcer

Obviously, unlike the Japanese war-lords you did not become a Master at the "Go" board to enhance and fine tune your strategies.

I am sure that whatever I could offer would not compete with Carol's inflatable thingy.

Welcome Jan. i hope that you love it as much as we do.
My advice - just relax and Halki will do the rest. ;D

[kathy]

Jan, are you really excited? My last day in work today, is it yours? What time do you arrive & where are you flying from?
See you soon!! ;D ;D

[jan]

Behave like ladies? Always! Well, unless it involves rushing to the pointy end of the boat! ;D

Kathy, I finished work on 17th July but had loads of work to do at home over the holidays. But I've not been able to knuckle down and get very much done at all since we booked the holiday a week or so ago! As we're not seasoned travellers we've still got to go out and buy suitcases, do a grocery shop for the cuckoos, and get some last minute bits and bobs (don't know what yet but I'm sure there'll be something ). Oooh still so much to do.

The flight gets in at 3.00pm local time but I'm not sure what happens then. Presumably, bus/taxi transfered for the ferry? Did you arrange your own travel or are you booked through an agent? We're going with Olympic Holidays so hopefully there'll be someone at the airport to tell us what's going on.

5 more sleeps!

[jan]

Ooops forgot to say we're flying from Gatwick

[jan]

Thanks for the welcome, Lisa. I intend to do nothing but relax on holiday... I can't wait!

[kathy]

If you're going with Olympic, I'm sure they will have arranged your transfer, I haven't booked anything, we will just get taxis - two!- from the airport! See you at K.S. We will be easy to spot with 3 teenage girls so come and say hello there! We can then walk together, with decorum, to the boat .... and no pushing! ;D ;D

[jan]

I'll look out for you and be sure to come and say hello.

I am so excited!!!!!!!

[sunfun]

:)Be careful Jan...she's a bit rough and ready that Kathy one! ;D ;D ;D

[kathy]

Sunfun ! I am ashamed of you!
If you ever end up on Halki at the same time as me, I will fling all your kilts and tartan handbags in the sea ....followed by your haggis filled case!
