Still Fighting Scurvy

Last night went well (or at least well enough that I was promoted to Orange belt) but took so much out of me I didn't manage to wake up at 5:30 or whatever god awful hour Mary had to get her cab for the airport. Travel plans are coming together. We've rented a car (which by this afternoon will be one way to West Sussex) and secured a hotel room near the airport. The company we had originally contacted to ship the cats screwed up miserably. Lady Haye couldn't be bothered to give us a quote for what we were asking for (which was shipping our cats from Aberdeen to Seattle) and instead gave us a quote for shipping them from London to Seattle which once corrected made an expensive solution (nearly £800) even more expensive (by another £800) getting any information from them was like pulling teeth anyway so I can't say I am sorry not to be doing business with them. Hopefully the next (nicer and quicker and more local) company will have a quote to us today or tomorrow. Tonight I head out to meet with the flickr friends in Aberdeen for the last time and then try and get some sleep before the Beat the Drum festival in Drumnadrochit. Gah: only 16 more days!

I've temporarily suspended octopus orders until we finish the big move, I've got one more that I'll be wrapping up before we flee the country so you've got some time to save your nickels and dimes for your own cephalofriend!
