Day Thirty Three

Festis

We were up at the crack of down again, but it was only Furrgus, I and Mrs. T. Today.

Today was her day to fly to Dublin so she was practicing packing her and unpacking her suitcase 

As it was chock a block with pieces of computer for Mister Emmet she was sure it would cause a ruckus at security. 

So she was going prepared. 

She went out to do some last minute errands while we had our cappuccinos. 

Pretty good fixings in this place I must say. 

But we do not mention it to Cousin Morag lest she think we are getting a bit soft. 

What with central heating and hot water whenever you might want. So we do not dwell on the amenities here. 

Miss Niamh’s class was on her computer today so she had a sleep in this morning and was still not awake when we got back from patrol. 

When Mrs. T got home she was almost ready to go to the airport. 

But she had to go over all the things one must take with you nowadays. Passports, tickets, driving licences. 

And all of these from respectable countries at that. 

Not like just parachuting in on a dark night with a bunch of the lads I must say. 

Then just after lunch young Niamh drove her to the airport. 

Before going back to university. 

Mrs. T will fly off to Toronto before getting a bigger plane which will reach Dublin. 

She put some interesting books on her telephone so she will have something to do while she waits in the airport.

We never used to have to wait in airports. Just wondered on the plane whenever you got there. 

Not all change is for the better I think. 

Later when Miss Niamh got home she connected up her new speakers so she could listen to her record player. 

We do seem to have an lot of music in the house. Can’t say I mind. 

I went on our third reconnoiter by myself as Furrgus and Dugal were too far into their chess game to notice. 

Before dinner Craig watched the latest Lord of the Rings. 

It is too scary to watch with Mrs. T. I think. 

I just curled up on the big cabinet to catch up on my beauty sleep.
