Wendy's at it!

I'm back. Arrived home Wednesday evening and for some reason went to work at the parly on Thursday morning. As I'm struggling to stay awake on the road home, I'm standing at the barrier in Waverley Station waiting to show my ticket and I spot this woman shoving in front of me. She's got a phone to her ear, talking loudly, bags and papers in her other hand and a flexi pass ticket - one that you have to fill in with TODAY'S date. Anyway as soon as I heard the voice I realised it was Wendy Alexander.

I spotted that she was holding a ticket dated 10th September and wondered if the inspector would be as eagle eyed as me. He was! She got caught! "Sorry sweetheart" he said in his Saff London accent, "you can't travel wiv a 2 month old ticket". Wendy, without stopping talking for a second, emptied everything onto the ground and faffed about on the floor of the station for quite some time (talking all the while) before finding a blank ticket to fill in with TODAY's date.

I guess someone else had filled in the date for her. I guess she just didn't know that you had to have the right date on it ...

Hope you enjoyed your break and nice to have you back.
Can you please help? My wife leaves for Cordoba on Sunday via a couple of nights in Malaga. Do you have any recommendations for places to stay in Cordoba?
Thanks.

Hi Hibee, I stayed with a friend in Cordoba and he's away this weekend but I can ask another friend who used to live there. Does it need to be before Sunday? Also, if you email me at annemclaughlin3@googlemail.com it'll be easier to pass things onto you.

Hi Jules :-)
