How ready are you for the weekend, guys? I'm so prepared, and all I need is for the weather to cooperate.
We're off to Wales this weekend to see our friends in Mumbles, whom we haven't seen in years.
I last saw them both around 8 years ago, when they lived in beautiful Sydney, Australia. We're looking forward to socializing and bouncing in puddles (rain is definitely on the way) with their three kids.
That excursion makes for a funny story. When we awoke last Saturday morning to see Dennis (the hurricane) devouring our yard, our hearts sank because we were meant to drive to Wales that morning.
Duncan went online and found that the Severn Bridge was already partially shut down, so he called his friend to cancel.
We were devastated since we had been looking forward to it so much, and we had also paid an exorbitant amount of money for the accommodations because we had not realized we were arranging this trip right in the thick of the school midterm.
Duncan thought his friend was slightly off, but he was courteous about it over the phone. When they got off the phone, his pal texted, 'wasn't this meant to be the weekend after, mate?!'.
Of course, it was! Duncan did a Duncan and became confused about the dates he had booked. He also confused the Airbnb host by telling him that we would not be arriving after all.
