I don't know if anyone is aware that Tony is on medication for his blood pressure ( it's high, the outcome of cohabitating with such a laid back person such as myself!). The medication has a diuretic effect and coupled with Tony's prodigious intake of coke ( the drink) it can lead to some pretty amusing times, especially when traveling.
We had actually arrived at Toledo, but still yet had to find the hotel. Prior to arriving , Tony had already explored the possibilities of relieving the pressure on his bladder, checking out a fuel stop which ,unfortunately didn't have toilets.
As the pressure became more extreme, and in the process taking ALL his concentration in containing it, the effort of trying to find his way to our hotel was too great ( admittedly all three wing-men were hopeless with navigating). Pulling into an area off the main street, alongside shops which were closed for the siesta, thank goodness- he did his best with parallel parking, a pretty valiant achievement considering he was driving a left-handed vehicle on the right hand side of the road...and then made a bolt for it!!
You would think that with a children's playground on the area, there would be toilets close by....not so. Visualize ants on a nest after hot water has been poured over it and you have a picture of Tony and Andrew running around in search of somewhere, anywhere that would provide the opportunity for relief!!!
Being familiar with how this type of pressure,you would suppose his wife would be empathetic - wrong! Watching the manic search ( made funnier because of the previous night's lack of sleep) uproarious laughter got the better of me, tears running down my face. Cathy at least managed to restrain herself for a few minutes before succumbing. However hysteria set in when Tony, with hand hanging on and a final jig, found a row of Oleander trees to water !!
Unfortunately too busy to get a photo!! :)

Lol, this is the funnist entry I've read!
I can only imagine what it was like to see it first hand, but i'm sure that after the event the blame was placed at everyone else's feet but dads :)
But its good to here that all four of you are having a blast.
If you have to wait until 9pm to book a dinner table you might have to get used to having later nights then your accustom to!
Say hello to Cath and Andrew for me, talk to you soon (it's been a week since you've called!!!)

Haahhaaa, I would have to agree with Ad, this entry is hilarious. I think Tony should count himself lucky though, if he was a girl he would have had much more trouble than he did finding a place of relief :p
Sounds like you're havig a great time with Cathy and Andrew. I look forward to the next hilarious entry!!
Love Em
