rach

morning all

the thread had almost slipped to the second page - you must all be busy!!

i'm tired this morning, but its my own fault i guess, for staying up late. am picking my dad up in half an hour and i'm still in pjs but i guess he'll have to wait! will fly later as gotta spend the day with dad. am showing him the new hotel for the reception as well as other things!

not sure how to entertain my dad for the whole day - and tomorrow! he can be quite hard work and walks very slow!!! don;t get me wrong its nice to see him, though. just hard to know what to do as the weather's not great.

oh well. hugs to all who are in need (can't remember all the names and i don't wanna miss anyone out!)
