They phoned around five this evening to ask if there was a room available just for the one night.  They said they should arrive around 8 p.m. but they couldn't remember how to reach us.  So they would phone when they got near.  Well they phoned around nine to say the trip was taking longer than anticipated.  Then again around ten they phoned to say they were near by.  And then the phone calls began in earnest.  They would phone telling their location and I would tell them where to turn and what to do.  Then they would call back ten minutes later, having driven on beyond the turn.  They would be heading back now and what was it they were to do??  They went the wrong way at every turn in the road.  Too far this direction.  Too far that direction.  Twisted around here and there and everywhere.  Finally they were on the right road, heading towards us.  And at long last they arrived.  I don't know how these people function!  But they are here at last and tucked into their bed for the night.  It's almost eleven thirty and I'm heading for bed myself.  At last!
