By now the Guvnor and Himself are sitting on an aeroplane bound for the USA. Two flights were needed to get them home so I dropped them at a hotel near Aberdeen airport yesterday afternoon as flight 1 required they got up at Stupid O'clock in the morning. The plus side of the 2 flights is that the Dynamic Duo had the chance to do a little city exploring elsewhere in the world.
Anne and I spent a few happy hours with DB and DeWitt, sadly they were here for over a week. We coped admirably with the discomfort of having not one but two dreadful house guests by not feeding them until they both fell into a deep sleep. Waking up in the Britannia Hotel, Aberdeen must have been quite a shock particularly as we had booked them into the YMCA, Dyce.
Anyone else who is tempted to appear on our doorstep unannounced will be greeted in the same way Mrs Banks greeted Himself and Herself.
"YOU WANNA STAY 'ERE? Waddah ****ing liberty!" She was in a good mood that day. |

Ah Mr. Banks, you are a funny, funny man. And a true friend if ever there were one. _________________ Be well,

More pix tomorrow.
the Mister and I have been up for 24 hours, just about.
Just this note:
Anne Banks is the most charming, witty, patient lady I have ever met.
Besides me own mum, I mean. _________________ DBCooperVO.com

Mrs. Anne Banks has to be all D.B. says; she has to make the most of being with Banksey. But we still love him anyway.
Happy to hear you are home, but sad the visit had to end with Phillip and the Mrs.
Looking forward to the pictures.

Glad your home safely but sorry the trip is over so soon. I've wondered what Mrs. Banks was like. I figured that she must be witty and patient to put up with, I mean, oh heck, let's be honest I do mean to put up with himself. And she's also got a lovely, warm smile.
I look forward to the rest of the pix. |

Mom went to meet Mrs. Banks all the way to Scotland, and all I got was this stupid keyboard.
Oh, I got carried away.
