3rd July 2103 - Bookings but no Boxes

Wednesday it is - and an early call to the Euro tunnel people shows that despite the web pages and the terms of reference on the Tesco Vouchers, they do in fact allow use on both outward and inward journeys. As a result, the 3 for one offer on the value of vouchers meant that £55 of transferred voucher has paid for both journeys - to and from the continent at the end of the month. Bonus !!

So, things move ahead towards the big trip.

More straps have been added to Bertha despite the lack of time for actual sewing while we travel back and for from Carmarthen, Burry Port and home. Susie experimented with a new band saw and found that she could saw some of the trees form the Plotment, but for only a short time.

Spent most of the day shouting at various parts of the NHS system, each of whom were doing a splendid job, and in some cases felt a little bad for escalating, but the lack of communication between various sections, and the propensity to say "I am waiting for a call from .." rather than making the call themselves has been very frustrating. However - by dint of stubbornness, managed to finally get Occupational Therapy to examine the Father in law, which, as I guessed took two minutes and resulted in no changes, and two days of waiting for the option to return home finally was realised - of course too late for an ambulance today ...   but at least we have some movement in the right direction...

Find that 7 days cover on the continent for RAC will cost more than a year for this country - can't be right !! despite the possible extra costs of re-patriation, but £42 from AA by comparison to £78 from my own company that I have been with since 1986 seems a little wrong. It is only 750 miles on the continent.. Some difficult decision to make !!!  May try Green Flag - after all - it is a Green one !!!

Found a CD of old music by Eileen, mainly Band Call from the BBC and decided that I would add some photos  and put a video together and sent to to Bunny.


Glass of home made wine and strawberries from the Garden with cream .. yum...
