Took the car into my local garage this morning and, as I have had to do all week, commuted to work via omnibus and choo-choo train.

A lot is riding on the outcome of the diagnosis....

If it is something easy, perhaps as little a couple of hundred, I"d wince but bear it.

If it"s in the half-grand region, Prague would be in severe doubt but I reckon I could still swing Vegas.

If it"s in the grand region, I would have to extract the digit, bite the bullet and do the sensible thing and cancel Vegas.

Any more than that and November/December was looking like a very long time to spend at home.

The phone rang at midday.

"Mr Davis?", the greasemonkey enquired.

"T"is I", I replied

"Baht yer motah".

"Aah, yes. How is it looking?", I asked with some trepidation (see above).

"It"s ready for you to pick up".

"Oh...that seemed quick", I opined with hope rising.

"Yeah, it was just a stone caught behind the back plate".

"So nothing major wrong then?", I queried with hopes soaring.

"Nope, all sorted"

"How much to I owe you?"...I had to ask.

"£30 should cover it"

Vegas baby, Vegas.

travelling down to Gatwick on the 6th staying at Courtyard by Marriot



Booking flight soon...just waiting on a cash injection which is due next week.

I can get a room & parking at the Marriott for my whole stay for £136 compared with just parking at the Long Stay for £96.

£40 for the night...seems like a deal to me.

I will be on the flight happy with Premium or Economy whatever the rest of you are doing

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

I looked at costs and it was coming in at £700 for economy and £1000 for premium. Sod that.

I then found a flight direct from London to Los Angeles for £550 - but the kicker is that it has bloody transatlantic wifi and power points in economy seats! I"m pretty sure I can handle 10 hours on my own if I can play on Stars :)

Oh, and the internal flight to Vegas from LA is $54. Sorted. All I gotta do now is get a new contract within the next few weeks - if I get a 3-6 month min contract then I"ll be on the plane...assuming I get permission, of course.
