It is 3.45pm and I'm at Aberdeen Airport, awaiting my flight to Amsterdam at 7.20pm. Bought myself an hour's airtime on the laptop and have gone through my emails on Gmail. I'm glad that everybody agreed with the tenure, tone and content of my rant and I'm not retracting a letter of it. I just went to my old journal and got met by a bland screen, saying AOL journals, hometown and ftp had been shut down. I am now going to check my other Gmail username to see if the dormant blogs are there.
Journey so far has gone well. Left Stornoway at 7.15, and had an uneventful crossing to Ullapool. Bus journey passed through a snow-flecked landscape to Inverness, after which the train took me to Dyce station, which is allegedly close to the airport. Well, it took me an hour to leg it there. Fortunately, I'm carrying a rucksack, so no problems there. When I return next Wednesday, I'll shell out on a cab.
Ever seen anyone with iridescent pink hair? I did today, on one of the railway stations I passed through. Said town shall remain nameless - my blog is being read in Scotland.
As I said before Guido, have a good trip. My journal was still there an hour ago but will probably be gone soon. I wrote to Vish yesterday pulling no punches and asking for an explanation. I sent a copy to Donna who then did her own letter expressing the same sentiments in different terms. Do I need to tell you that neither of us has had the courtesy of a reply? I shall be leaving aol. at the earliest possible opportunity. Not even sure if I will stay with blogger.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a safe journey Guido.

At least you had one bright spot in your day...I've never seen pink hair of any kind.

Call me silly, but a few years back my youngest wanted pink hair and silly me ... I let her. She looked adorable! Then she let is grow out and that phase, thankfully is over.

I hope you had a safe journey home Guido. We have lots of iridescent pink haired people here in Brighton. I saw one one day who had dreadlocks, each strand was done a different colour.... red, yeloow, pink, purple, green, blue, black etc! Lol! These youngsters have a sense of humour or do they think they look cool?! Jeannette xx
