Monday 22nd March

I woke about seven, got up had a shower and got dressed, no coffee but i did have a bit of time online. I took the free shuttle to the airport, a five min journey, had a little look around and then went through to airside. I bought some smokes in duty free as directed then settled down with my book and ipod to wait for the flight. As i was sitting there a rather loud Scottish woman and her two pals walked to the front of the queuing area and settled down to wait, this was then followed by a huge serge of people, Ryan air does not designate seats so the closer to the head of the que you are the better choice of a seat, i didn't bother, everyone gets on. The boarding did not happen for another fifty mins so the standing people were stood for all that time, i waited until the last min and got on, had a whole row to myself.
The flight was easy, one and half hours, headphones on a reading my book it went really quickly and at five euros each way it was cheaper than getting the bus. When i got to Prestwick i picked up the car, a Ford Mondeo, very nice, spacious, drives really well, cruise control, automatic wipers and headlights, i hardly had to do anything. I got to grans about two and half hours later and was met with a great deal of enthusiasm by ant as he had arrived the day before. The strike took up a lot of conversation and we didn't know what they would do with ant the next day. Gran made a meal which we all enjoyed and then we sat and chatted for the rest of the evening. Gran was looking much better and seemed her usual self. We headed up to bed around ten and went off to sleep.
