Two Weeks In The Sun

Your diary correspondent went away for a couple of weeks, late September, and grabbed the chance to get some Greek sun. Things have been a bit rough here at Thomas Towers recently, including Mrs T being proper poorly, so much so that it was close to being a hospital job for a while.

Plus we've been coughing up money left right and centre for someone we know fallen on hard times, (the violins will be out soon) so the offer of two weeks in a chums villa in the sun was a no brainer. Out came the plastic from the part of the wallet where the moths usually live. Manchesters finest filled the airport, a weeks package funded by their giros. How people drink pints of beer at 6 in the morning in airports is beyond me. The plane we were on was one of those late-year pensioner specials with an average passenger age of about 70. Up at 34,000 feet we were still on a high after the 4-3 win over Preston and 3 and a bit hours later landed in glorious hot sunshine. Alas the pool was like ice after a couple of days rain earlier in the week. I dipped my toe in and thought it had been cut off. Never mind, if our Turf Moor heroes have ice cold baths to help fitness, then I too can plunge in I thought, so in I went. Then I remembered-they get paid £7,000 a week.
