    Another couple of early nights here. Got loads to do ……but……. if anyone has seen my get up and go - send it back quickly.
     I did go to ds yesterday and we had a walk. It was lovely - a 20 minute drive from his house- it’s a disused railway line, overlooking some beautiful reservoirs. We got back to his, when he was making tea I put my slippers I keep there on. I thought the label was rubbing on the side of my foot, so took it off to adjust when a blooming big spider ran out. Don’t know who jumped more- me after I saw the spider or the spider when I shrieked 😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t mind spiders at all…..but would prefer not to share my slipper with one 😳

    I ended up taking extra cash out. Ds is visiting dd next week so I wanted to send some Easter and birthday presents with him rather than posting them at a later date. I also need cash for a haircut on Tuesday. Will adjust my cash figure at the end of the month.
    Need to pay my £20 car tax at some point this week 👍

    I’ve been and had my hair cut, cleaned the fridge and most of the kitchen this morning. Just shows I must be getting rid of the kidney infection as my getup and go had gone and I couldn’t muster the energy to do anything. Last day of antibiotics today. I’ll finish upstairs later and sort and fill the van tomorrow ready for our longest road trip yet. Can’t wait to get to Cornwall as it’s been 4 long years since I was last there. Really looking forward to it 😁

    You will have to let us know how you get on in Cornwall with the motorhome. We are down there with ours later in the year.

    Just looking back and it was 2019 when we were last down that way. Although that time we were in the car and we hired a lodge. It will be a different ball game with the van on those narrow roads :)
