Posted on April 23, 2018 by Dreamaticus

I was one of hundreds of anonymous passengers stranded at Edinburgh airport, many of whom were returning home from ski-ing holidays. For entertainment the airline put on an evening display of ‘danses populaires’. JG took my arm and led me … Continue reading →

Sisters, a husband, and parents on holiday (Rousse)

Posted on February 13, 2018 by Dreamaticus

It seemed inappropriate that two little blonde sisters aged six and eight wearing white shift dresses would be showing tourists around a World War I theme park. It was also rather odd that TPR was not staying in the plush … Continue reading →

Sad and lonely at the seaside (Rousse)

Posted on November 29, 2017 by Dreamaticus

I was lonely on the beach and looking for company (when not almost losing my Blackberry in the water when the tide came in). I looked through pub and café doors in the hope of finding someone I knew. All … Continue reading →

Best murder poster drives guest into Mermaid’s arms (Rousse)

Posted on November 15, 2016 by Dreamaticus

I couldn’t stay on for the formal dinner so I left TMX in the hands of IKX. This arrangement was not to T’s liking. She disapproved of the ostentatious wealth of I’s new house, especially that evident in the home … Continue reading →

Holy Island hideaway drifts out to sea (Rousse)

Posted on November 21, 2015 by Dreamaticus
