Better things

[smokingboot]

Looks like - fingers crossed - bit of extra money might be on its way. Which could mean a little holiday cash.

All things being equal, the big deal will be at the end of the year, but if there's extra, R might well be taking B to the Munich beer festival. I could go with them, or I could do a little solitary travelling, meeting up with chum for the Eigg ceilidh, or island hopping between Skye and the Western Isles.

Trouble is, I am also pulled by the chance of wolf watching in Cantabria; I would pay in more ways than one, my mother would be very annoyed by me visiting Spain and not visiting her. So the key would be to spend a week in Cantabria then travel down to Andalucia. I could stop near Jaen and try to get in on some Lynx spotting. ....And suddenly I'm spending rather more money than the boys in Munich.

Also, I can't help thinking that this would be the time to do precisely the kind of travelling that my husband would tolerate on my account rather than love; Gobleki Tepe, Hattusa, Jordan. Glasgow-Amman returns are not expensive. I would love an Israel/Jordan combo but that one's got to be for both of us.


We'll see.
