replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I may have a slow start. Inconveniently I need to manage some little bits of my cooking. #pttravel

this week I have been mostly entering fake data into a large survey form. I've reached the 'Viking and Saxon monarchs' stage. Next week might be hobbits.

@kate_frankie well, there's a mushroom/cranberry/brie pasty (Aldi's finest!) in the oven, along with a sweet jacket potato.
I need to put on some cheese-covered mushrooms and hope the kitchen doesn't burn down.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie @Txiki_Tales @DawnCorleone @JKatzaman @vickyinglis13 @aok_NW @findinganeish @RooLovesTravel @HHLifestyleTrav @NomadKeith @CharlesMcCool #pttravel today I have been dabbling with bits of the fantasy adventure novel I'm writing. It's a bit of forcing at the moment, but it needs doing.

We had a baby gender reveal party yesterday. I was on team girl but was wrong. I'll have a nephew in April if all goes to plan. Baby is happy and healthy which is the main thing!

It's been a grey + wet day, but after a walk along the river I'm glad to be tucked up with a cosy blanket, Christmas lights, candles, a cuppa + mince pies #PTTravel

A cold wet grey foggy day with an unusually high tide.
Been watching hawks pick-off mice from high spots amid the floodwaters.
Tough day to be "a wee and timourous beastie"

Q1 What has been your biggest or best misadventure in travel and why did things not go as planned?

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel a1: or the time i broke my foot and still have no idea how or when.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 Probably went I went to the wrong police station in northern China to register my place of residence and no one spoke a lick of English (I can't speak Mandarin) and then they drove me across town in the back of a police car, alarms blaring, to another station #pttravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 Are you still tier 2 in London? We're tier 3 still up here but could be relaxed soon #PTTravel

A1 #pttravel In Australia I rented a car from Brisbane to Melbourne. I bought the full coverage at the counter because my credit card didn’t cover there. Glad I did, 150 miles out of Melbourne I had a man coast into me. It left a mark on the left rear fender, but I walked away

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel or the time i was too active at high altitude and threw up in a café. Mexico City, for the record.

A1 #PTTravel I honestly can't think of anything really serious. Maybe the lady in front of me screaming at the check in clerk she didn't want to go to Switzerland. (Our queue was for Genoa ... sign showed the Italian 'Genova')

A1 My first big trip was a summer in Romania and Moldova in 2010. From the train, I saw this fortress and decided I had to go back to visit, so I asked where it was, and I learned it was in Rupea. A week or two later I tried to take a train back to Rupea. #PTTravel
