Delay: Day V

It is raining quite heavily in Tenerife, as I write. Only smokers have been standing at the hotel entrance enjoying a Silk Cut or whatever they smoke nowadays.

I spoke to the Thos Cook representative five minutes ago and she advised us to renew our accommodation at the hotel for another day. We have to check the notice-board at about six-thirty this evening so, if there are any developments, I'll post them here instanter.

Incidentally, I was apprised that all the Thos Cook aircraft are in the UK, not Tenerife.

I think I'll but another half-bottle of Gordon's gin!
