No passports arrived in the post yesterday, and so I tried visiting the mail centre this morning and the staff had a look, but nothing there either. So it looked like I'd be leaving without the passport and hoping it would catch up.
But, just now Irish Ferries have sent a text message - "due to technical difficulties, tomorrow's 1700 sailing is postponed to Monday...", so there will be a good chance of having the passport after all. And it also means getting to watch the Ireland-Wales rugby match in peace tomorrow.
Luckily I have some flexibility in the schedule, with the first deadline a rendezvous with Stefanie in Malaga next Saturday. But I hope that the MV Normandy is not suffering anything serious after its winter break. Perhaps it's a flat battery or someone has mislaid the keys.
