I will be sharing the things that I would have been doing on my holiday, I have cancelled my leave as needed at work and waste of time taking leave atm.
Tonight, I am on nights and I leave half way through night shift tomorrow (about midnight) and will write in the style as if I am on that holiday
As usual I will be checking the weather to see which direction we will be going in and although we have plans, none that wont change regularly.
I will post photos if we have been there before and use google photos/videos otherwise.
Woken up early and had a couple of coffees already. Wife (Paula) still asleep and not expecting her to rise anytime within the next couple of hours. She will be spending the day with the grumpchildren of 2 daughters who she is just going to have to use the internet to stay in contact with for 20 days of motorhome break. I m 54 and she is 53 I think or maybe 52, yep 52 and getting close to 53
My job today is to load the van with all the non essential stuff. Essential stuff is passports and credit card. Everything else can be replaced.
The motorhome is 3 year old rollerteam 690 which is 6 berth and garage weighted at 4,100 kgs and has a garage for a 110 cc suzuki address with double top box (photos will be of single top box) we dont have a dog.
Paula has already cleaned the inside and I have washed and waxed the outside. I am still considering the benefits of putting cellophane on the front of the Luton as we intend to travel 3-400 miles in the first day. Either past Luxembourg or to Sully or somewhere around Limoges. These decisions will be made tomorrow, and possibly change on the tunnel (we have done that before!)
The van, which we have named Vanessa, already has full diesel which i bought at £1.20 about a month ago and full gas at 75p just in readiness for a long journey. We will be travelling with a minimal amount of water but have 25 litres of drinking water. I m going down later to get a 24 pack of draught Guiness, mainly because, I can (sic)
The tunnel is about an hour and a half away on the open roads of the M25 at midnight, as I can leave very early as work owe me a few hours for having to turn up at meetings on my days off.
The saxophone I am unsuccesfully learning is staying at home.
www.ventusky.com is our weather forecast site as it gives us a 10 day forecast.
Hopefully it will be very Q at work as students are still away on Easter break and we ill be using data to keep up with Killing Eve once a week, otherwise the only data I use is for here, facebook chatting to family and keeping up with the news. We tend not to watch telly but i have a supply of cryptic crossword books and paula reads books that i have no knowledge about. Probably Barbara Cartland.
We bought one of those electric scooters last year and love it. So we will be buying another one as soon as we see exactly the same model. About £160 last year so hopefully less this year. No pushbikes.
Right, another cup of coffee and I will work up the enthusiasm to load the motorbike into the garage and I think a hair cut later with grade 2 clippers and no styling.
I ll let you know how i get on with loading the van later on tonight if i get a break at work
