Janet And John Are On The Eurostar In France...

[gness]

This has been a lovely journey so far......a sunny morning with the taxi driver wearing shorts.....see Janet smile...... :-)

Caught the ever earlier than early train which gave us hours in the lounge with a famous woman Janet can't place and a woman who was the double of Jayne Torvill......bet she's told that all the time, thought Janet.........they were then joined by a chap who was the double of Christopher Dean.......the penny dropped.......

St. Pancras is lovely......a fascinating place to people watch......the man playing the piano and balancing a football on his head at the same time was worth watching and applauding.....
And don't people wear some different and interesting clothing......an elderly lady with a bright blue rucksack covered in pointy rubber pyramids in primary colours......gorgeous.....must be more adventurous with my clothing....thinks Janet....

Oh lord help us.......thinks John..... :-(

Now there was a bit of a hiccup in the waiting area for Eurostar.......

John is very organised......see Janet sigh......

He knows where everything is and keeps everything safe but handy.....

Janet is different....but......


Ooooooo.....Are we nearly there?.....Yes we are....more later......Jx

John is changing his name to Jean-Paul - the nice young woman on Eurostar has just brought him an unauthorised wine refill and winked in a conspiratorial fashion ...

[Islay]

You know when you go on holiday Gness you don't need to update everyone everyday sweetie - unless its to make everyone jealous.
Also what is it with the Janet and John - why not just use your own names?

^^Whoosh^^

Hope Janet and John have a good time.

My Daughter is driving to the Netherlands tomorrow, so will be a quiet few days for me.

[gness]

Thanks, Mamya......enjoy the quiet.....xxx

Don't be silly, Islay.....make unkind judgements when you know me....
It's for a bit of fun........like when you go to Vegas or Birmingham.......if you don't like, my love....don't read........and if you don't understand the Janet and John bit.......well maybe it's an age thing...... :)

[Islay]

I wasn't being unkind I was making a statement!
Oh I understand janet and john - they were fairy tales!!

[Lie-in King]

I too hope Janet & John have a good time & behave themselves! ;-)

[aelmpvw]

i'd have a pseudonym if my name was ermintrude gness ...

[Tilly2]

Well, I'm dead jealous. I love travelling on Eurostar.

[Mamyalynne]

Asking for good behaviour is a bit much ;-)

[gness]

Of course Janet and John weren't fairy tales!...They were true stories of how families lived before women got stroppy.....

Daddy did the boy's jobs with saws and dangerous things......always with a pipe in his mouth.....a sleeveless pullover and a little boy helping him....

Mummy was always beautifully dressed, made up and permed.....in the spotless kitchen wearing a frilly pinny
and with a happy little daughter helping mummy wash the dishes......

There was a dog somewhere.....but I don't know what he did.......x

[Lie-in King]

^^^Mamya - of course, what was I thinking? ;-)

[gness]

Thank you....we will....I think...... :-)

You promised not to tell, Ael! You promised!... :-)

Love it too, Tilly....we are giving up flying and going where Eurostar will take us from now on....

Mamya....good behaviour....I promise.....after what Janet did with her passport today she is going to have to be on her best behaviour for the whole holiday.... :-(

Off to the wine shop.......xxx

[Mamyalynne]

I think the Dog smoked cigars.

the trains are going to Bordeaux from next month, and they start an Amsterdam service at the end of the year. Plus they already go to Avignon and Marseille. So many nice places to visit.

//I think the Dog smoked cigars.//
that's a great line for a spy mamya

I don't mind Janet and john on their holidays, that's why I read the posts ( mostly ) the post I was really bored by some years ago was a minute by minute update of a" get together" by some abers, do you remember that thread Islay ? :-)

[gness]

Janet is sighing....she now knows that there is a God and that God not only favours John.....God likes to torment Janet....... :-(

John is very organised and fussy....especially about passports......well Janet's passport mostly....she has history....
By the time they arrive at St.Pancras John has asked her to check she has her passport in a safe place seventy four times......Janet says if he asks again she will head butt him.......Janet is short.......John is tall....it's not John's forehead she will make contact with....

A young Chinese girl traveling alone and worried about a delayed train asked Janet if she could sit and chat with her to stay calm....Janet has one of those faces.....
Leaving for their train the girl reached up to hug Janet and, bending down to accept the hug, Janet spotted, under the girl's seat, a gold harp....just like the one on Janet's green passport..... :-(
Yes, Janet had dropped her passport.....and without John risking asking if she had her passport safe as they leave.......(he values his bits and bobs).....Janet would have arrived in Brussels leaving her passport under a seat in London....

Janet has not yet told John this........he can read it here.......and then will no doubt take pleasure in asking Janet over and over....Have you got your passport safe?.....with a smug smile and without having to guard his bits and bobs......

Janet has opened the wine..... :-(

[Islay]

Not at all annea it must have been a long time ago - still a bit bitter you were not invited ;-0

[anneasquith]

Put the passport down you're bra or pants for goodness sake, is it any wonder John likes a drink ( or 7) :-)
