Alright, where was I?

After getting off the flight, we drove about an hour until we reached Ayr. THE most ghetto town I’ve ever seen I think. To prove just how ghetto it is I just spent like the minutes trying to google search something on it so I could five you a link to it and nada, nothing..zip.

Anyways so we get to the bed and breakfast place and the woman/freak who is in charge if it is waiting for us and greets us and stuff. Then she gives us this huge elaborate tour of where we will be staying. The place where my mum, brother and I stayed was huge! It was the “executive sweet” and I was really a house/. It had two floors a full functioning kitchen, bathroom with shower, washer dryer, and then upstairs it had a big living room with a huge tv WITH satellite, a big board table t have meeting, three desks and then the bedroom had a king size bed and a pull out sofa bed. Seemed a little excessive to have all that stuff tin a guest house no? I can’t imagine people going all the way out there to have a meeting. It’s at least and hours drive from anywhere significant...

Anyways..Chris and Isabelle stayed in what they think was the owners room. It was called the “cow” room and you can guess what kind of decor they had...talk about cheesy! Anyways their room was filled with her stuff including, get this, a portrait of her, framed above the bed...how creepy?

Oy! So we went off to bed and them it started to pour and the rain was so loud in our room! It was almost like it was raining on my head... But that wasn’t the worst part. Then came the trains. Freight trains. And how nice that the tracks ran right behind the bed and breakfast..Strange that they didn’t mention that in the brochure.... Anyways these freight trains passed like a hundred times in the night and every time they did it shook the entire place and as if that wasn’t bad enough, the train guy thought it was necessary to honk the horn all night too. So it went;

“FFFRRRRAAAAAANNNNNN! FFFRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAN! CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA FFFFFRAAAAAAAAN! Shake shake shake” all night long.
Fun, I think not.

So that brings us to friday. The day of my Grandmother’s funeral. I’m not going to say much about it because I think that it’s best left fro me and my family but I will say that it was a lovely ceremony.

Then, that evening we went out for dinner at a local steak house. It was my mother, her sister and husband, my cousin, and us. I sat next to my cousin who I had not seen i ages and we had a great time catching up and chatting. She really fun and I think i really need to keep better touch with my family...

And then we went back the the B&B to be with that crazy lady.... She really creeped me out...we were joking around and making up all sorts of scenarios about her. That she was a witch or a cult leader..just being silly I guess.

We watches as much satellite tv as we could cram in and them left early the next day.

The drive went well. I had taken a Gravol in the morning to avoid any potential car sickness but didn’t really need it and ended up falling into the Gravol coma. I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes and my body felt heavy as lead... I felt wonky for about three hours after taking it.... I don’t know what is in that stuff but whatever it is, it’s potent!

The drive took about 5 hours, we stopped two or three times, but them we drove Chris and Isabelle home, got our car from there and then drover my mum’s friend who came with us home and then drove Lucas home and then we went directly to get puppy from the kennel. So even though we got o the Montreal area at like five, we only got home at eight or some because of all the dropping of and driving round! I was so happy to get in and even more happy to have puppy back. She gave us the cold shoulder for a few days, understandable, but now she’s back to herself....

And that was my week-end...Very action packed but I did so many things that I didn’t usually do.
Go me go!

And now I'm back at worka nd I think I'm comming down with a cold. Which would totally suck since I have some time off next week adn I really don't want to be sick while on vacation!!! SO I may take tomorrow off to rest and try and get rid of this bug before it gets to me...Hopefully rest and a dose of vitamin C wil do the trick....
