I could feel the tension and stress falling away as we set off and I left the others behind. It was an unexciting journey, but to be honest with a long journey that is usually a good thing. There were no major hold-ups and although it rained it wasn\u2019t too heavy. I quietly snoozed and left my Mistress to do all the work. The only funny thing was when she complained that she had just torn a bit of her jeans. Now given they are the fashionable type with intended rips in them it seemed rather ironic, but apparently she\u2019d managed to tear a bit that hadn\u2019t been supposed to be torn. The good news is that no one except my Mistress\u2026 and of course all of you, will know. Please don\u2019t tell her I told you. I get into trouble for constantly blabbing. She did inflict one of her audio books on me, but I\u2019m very good at switching off to things like that and didn\u2019t really listen, even when she laughed out loud. Although I was slightly tempted to ask what she\u2019d found funny, but have long since learnt that that would only extend my agony as she would insist on winding the book back so I could listen for myself.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re staying at a hotel she often stays at on route. It\u2019s very practical, more a motel than a hotel with all the room straight off the car park. It does save me having to walk through the hotel and means carrying the luggage only a short distance. It\u2019s got everything we need just for one night, including the inevitable wifi. It just means we end up fighting over the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>After a long day in the car we are half way there.
