DEAR DIARY .......

[Jacksparrow]

It really has been a bit of a strange day!
First, I found a hat full of money,
and then I was chased by an angry man with a guitar..?

Are you feeling ok Jack?

Yep! He didn't catch me

Lots an' lots of cheap tickets available.

Horrible morning (see 'Weather' ). Dentist check and hygienist early morning ..... road works , access to dentist denied, had to park back there <<<< and walk through all that weather.
