Nope, packing two cars today, off away tomoz unless Macron does something to stop that as he is considering shutting the whole country down and typically we will not know that until 2000 hours today.Morning folks
Fully charged with coffee and dressed in scruffy work clothes off to do something outside as the sun is out and skies are clear.
You off up the road today? @Stanleysteamer drive safe, have a good journey
J
Weather steady drizzle despite all forecasts around us saying "No". Ffing micro climate.
So the packing will take place in the wet.
Hardly ever happens, but still
.Will have to keep laptop and even printer going till very last moment as we might have to print off forms to be able to travel around France. And we had wanted to get rid of the Sosh box (phone and internet) to save some dosh,
.Lots of fingers crossed at the mo.
(Plus wifey wants to do her usual "gallon into pint pot act"!
Have a good one folks!

Morning All
Paper's got, bins are out, cat's fed.
3rd morning in a row the Indian call centre scammers have called @ 08:20.
Coffee is made and I am catching up on t'interweb.
MIL's 91st birthday today!
Wifey gave me a pass to go to the gym while she goes to see her mum, but I think I will go wish her Ma a happy birthday and go to the gym after.
Have a great day folks.

Spray it with roundup, you have to do it regularly but it's less back breaking than weeding.Coffee break

keep them talking for a bit to waste their time. When they're talking to you they're not scamming anyone else. Pretend to do what they ask....

Cars packed. Well, empty cool boxes in to ensure we can get em in when full. Rest all OK and the quarts (of apple juice) didn't quite go in yet, although the wine did, just! "We", (well she) decided we would be leaving the new freezer onCoffee break
Good luck with that

as it has so many damsons in and also british food like bacon and sausages we won't be able to bring over next year.So there goes the electric bill.
Neighbour rang all worried Macron won't let us leave.
We'll see what he says tonight, but as you could do essential travel during last lockdown, don't see it being a problem this time. Might just have to print off some pesky forms.
But I think we will not be eating out much on the way. Won't do my waistline any harm!
We'll see what 8 o'clock brings.
Weeding? Still growing where you are? Pain isn't it!
All the best till later!

and say stuff like, "Oh there's someone at the door, can you just hold?" for 45 mins minimum.
Blue, Dark Blue, Black & Green.
Colour choice is usually very low on my list when buying cars, well unless it can be associated to baby poo

Must be the photo then, unsurprisingly. Colour don't bother me much either, although I did gag a bit once when buying a pink Jag Mk1. 2.4. Only paid £5 for it and scrapped it for £10 so did OK!Blue, Dark Blue, Black & Green.

It's about 550 miles door to port,and as wifey cannot handle it anymore we don't do it in one hit like we used to.Yep little blighters, so is the grass so that may even get another last cut too

So overnight in Chateauroux, then on to Ouistreham.
Even in the tough lockdown when you could not leave your house without a form filled in, you were allowed to drive back to your home country. So I cannot see this being any worse. We will see!

So why do you take 2 cars over? why not buy a little runaround for France and leave it there. Surely the extra ferry cost & fuel could soon pay for itself?
Just being "nosey"
