smilinjack 0 Posted October 16, 2012 Well, I had this job in Ireland to get to today, so I left my dad's (*) at 7 this morning in plenty of time for my ferry from Holyhead. Despite severe delays around the M67/M60, I arrived an hour before departure to find the crossing was cancelled due to high winds, so I had to wait until 2pm for a proper ship to get me across. Left Dublin around 6 on my way finally to Cork. Coming down the M8 about 20 miles from Cork, had to swerve out of the path of some numpty driving the wrong way up the road Arrived at the hotel to find my company credit card refused at the check in desk Can't wait for tomorrow (*) The main reason I've not been on much lately is my dad's really poorly, so I have to drive up to Barnsley every night to be with him overnight. He's got advanced pulmonary fibrosis and atrial fibrillation. Simply put, either his heart or his lungs are going to do for him and probably not in the distant future. So he's my no 1 job just at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
