    The weather has been thoroughly miserable so far today. The dog has not wanted to go out.

    My dog wouldn’t go out this morning, I got her lead out and she ran off 😆 Thankfully it cleared up this afternoon and she got a good run on the park.

    It will be a very low spends day today. Just need to go and get some bread later.

    Full English for breakfast this morning and roast pork with all the trimmings later on for dinner. 

    We are washing the van today and we need to take the dog for a good long walk afterwards. He didn't get much of a walk yesterday, he wouldn't go out in the rain!

    Neither of us fancied a full breakfast this morning so we had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich instead.

    Now trying to conjour up the enthusiasm to wash the van 😕

    That’s the down side…..washing the van 😳 we haven’t needed to do ours yet as we’ve only done a few miles in it. Still only 300 miles on the clock.

    It's all washed now. Looks a lot better.

    We have done about 4500 miles in it so far. Think we will probably have done about 6000 miles by the time we have had it 12 months mid April.

    Salmon with rice and veg sounds nice I only usually have it with a salad unless I have it in town for lunch, there's a place that does plates with choice of veg/ rice/ various versions of potatoes with a protein of your choice. Eat there far too often and nothing you couldn't quite easily make yourself but it's nice.
