Well, here we are, into the second week of March
and the planning is well underway for our up-coming European adventure.
However, two things have cropped up out of the blue though that were definately
not expected.
The first was a letter in a brown envelope containing a Summons and requesting
my presence at the Crown Court !!! ........ for Jury Duty. Phew, that was a
close call, bit worried for a moment. Fortunately it is well before our planned
departure date so it should be an interesting interlude.
The second was rather a rather more painful event. I took Louis for a walk and
removed my walking boots in the garage. Later in the day, without looking I
stepped off the step and yep, you guessed it, my foot landed on the boots, my
ankle turned over and I went tumbling....ouch. Not only that, I somehow managed
to sprain both ankles at the same time, no idea how I did that, but I did, so
I`m hobbling around like an old codger at the moment. Anyway, I have a few
weeks to recover and from reading the NHS website, I`ll be needing all of them.
I`ve bought a few things for the trip, a 24gb data sim for the mifi, a spare
water pump, a couple of storage boxes and a booking for the Channel Tunnel.
That`s a one way ticket, I`ll not book the return until I know when we will
need it.
I`ve also got the motorhome booked in at the garage next week for a service /
check up to make sure all the mechanics are in order before I tackle those
Alpine passes, otherwise known as brake busters.
I`ve also organised garden maintenance whilst were away, ie grass cutting. I
don`t want to come back to a jungle !
