another hotel not as expected

a absolutely not what i was expecting. Of that good or bad? we won't know until we see our room, we arrived too early to check in.
But after the drive in... we have no urge to drive out for dinner.

btw: another beautiful sunny day :-)

stupid google

i wonder. can even google be so stupid?
im in google maps. getting directions for todays drive from chambers to croft cottage. i think, no wifi on the way so may as well use gmaps offline.
except.
i select the map area to download -- and there is no search function. i have to push a rectangle round the display. hoping to find recognisable points.
i can see reading, we are near reading. okay.
we will drive to a small village near wells. my geography is not that good, i cant find wells.
eventually i select an area perhaps ten times what i need. i suspect that wells is inside that area. i dont know if our cottage is in the download area.
i guess well find out. when we have no wifi... are terribly lost... and try to do a proper search.

whats wrong with this:
search,
get directions,
download the *displayed* map area. which definitely inludes all of the relevant area.


google maps download. software developed and never tested in a real situation :-(

harrying Harry

i see that coronation organisers are having trouble planning around mad Prince Harry. he won't tell anyone what he actually plans to do. well no wonder.
First he has to get permission from Meghan. she has to ask Oprah. they all need to arrange for camera crews and Ghost writers.
Harry can't tell anyone what he plans to do. not until Meghan and Oprah tell him.
