sisters are doing it for themselves

OK. So Pete went on a stag do, and I went on my own, unsupervised, solo trip to Stockholm to visit Tina this weekend.

Amazingly the world did not grind to a halt when I first went to the wrong train station and then arrived late to the airport. No one rushed me on when I wandered aimlessly around the terminal. I even bought a magazine, a sandwich and some popcorn without agonizing over my lack of budgetary prudence! Travelling on my own is fun...

In all other ways Stockholm was lovely and Tina was the perfect hostess. She treated me to a traditional meal - which included 3 bottles of wine and some party hats (Swedes are a bit strange that way). There was also a rigorous schedule of home decorating shops and historical houses... heaven.

Are you going to put that on your site? Yup. Victory to Wylie in the Weekend Sniping Stakes....

Last weekend was spent in St Tropez on a stag weekend. Yup, no error, St Tropez, not Amsterdam, Prague but St Tropez. Somehow - being as I'm such a working class hero - I ended up with some frightfully posh friends along the way.

Anyway, what goes on tour stays on tour la la la but suffice to say that the world-record-for-most-expensive-activity-on-a-stag-weekend was broken at 4 separate intervals over the 2 days. Prize for Stupidest Hoorah goes to the clown who thought it was a good idea to steal drinks from other tables in the nightclub, but that's another story..
