    Great photos. How did you get the aerial shot and is your dog trying to eat the fish food or the fish 😆
    The boys were playing with their drones.

    Oh and the dog was after eating the fish!

    We are home again now and the van is sorted and back in the drive.

    We called and filled up the LPG tank and diesel on the way home so it is full for our next trip to the Isle of Wight. 

    LPG was probably the cheapest we have paid this year at 80ppl. Diesel was the most expensive at £1.93 per litre.

    I have a load of washing on the line to dry. There are some stormy looking clouds out though. Hoping any rain holds off for a couple of years.

    The other half has just taken the dog for a quick walk while I prepared dinner for later.

    It will be a no spends day today. The first for a while.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chicken enchiladas made with the left overs from yesterdays Sunday dinner.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house
    • walking the dog

    The new BBQ has just been delivered to the other half's work which was much quicker than expected. We were not expecting it until Thursday at the earliest!!

    I suspect that means we have a change of plan tonight and we will be building that instead :)

    £393 sent to the motorhome HP loan today.

    Not a no spends day. I need to head to the shops after work to do the weekly shop.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores though. Toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chilli and ginger salmon with rice and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • vacuuming the house
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • weekly shop
    • walking the dog
    We assembled the new BBQ after work last night. There were far too may boxes to just leave it lying around until the weekend. It wasn't as bad as we feared putting it together. We have decided that Thursday evening we will have a BBQ to try it out. It looks like it will be silly hot again on Thursday, too hot for cooking in our kitchen anyway.

    We did discover that the gas bottle is nearly empty though. We will need to go a find a refill at the weekend of we are going to cook Sunday dinner on there!
