Stomping and Busy, Busy,
Busy
Todays stomp. I remembered to bring
the camera with me but sunset wasn’t the fiery orange
and red it has been since we got back from Clitheroe, just a muted one. Bear has
joined me for the last two evenings but today he had lots going on and by the
time I went off he hadn’t returned. Each morning he has asked to go fishing.
No, I won’t go without you. Guilty, I have
promised we could go on Monday......
My days have been chocker trying to
get Margaret’s Family Tree printed before we see her
on the 15th. As soon as Bear gets up and I spread out pictures, Census, file
sleeves, glue, scissors, pen, highlighter, paper.........so much paraphernalia .
Next thing I know it’s lunch time then I blink and it’s stomp, supper and the
small hours. Blogs have been shelved for the time being, I don’t want to think
how many I’m behind so I simply don’t look backwards on the calendar......
Bear returns each day, usually via
the storage unit, with ‘stuff’ for Beez in all shapes
and sizes. I fully expect Christmas wishes via email from the various chandlers
around Plymouth. This evening a sheet of soundproofing.......... apparently I’ll
rip out the sonic hull-keeper-clean gadget because it ticks. When was that
little gem going to surface. Well........I’m going to
make a little hat for it. So we’ll see ??? Something like that.
Three
cases are now open across Isabel the awning. The bilge pipe has to go
inside the black vent pipe and both will be stuffed with various pharmaceuticals
to see us through to South Africa. In the morning (7th) Bear has an appointment
with Sadie (our GP) as I know his Tiara (Giardia he picked up in Nepal) has not
gone away and his little parasites are still wreaking havoc and then more ‘blue
job shopping’.
8th. We have to be at Miff and
Rachel’s to babysit the boys so they can have a date night for Miff’s birthday
(on the 11th)
9th. See Martin, Kim and
boys.
10th. The promised
fishing
11th. Turn fridge off, be busy until
going to Ivybridge for typhoid and tetanus boosters and then on to Adam and
Jen’s for Chinese takeaway.
12th. Bear swapping car back, packing
and printing case contents in case we are pegged as baddies – clock innards and
all.
13th. Eva to bed, excess caravan
stuff to store then on to say ‘Farewell’ to Miff, Rachel and boys before heading
to Winchester. Hoping not to have to take the printer with
me........
14th. Was supposed to be for meeting
friends but Pete is poorly, now pegged to visit the cathedral.
15th and 16th. To Roger and
Margaret’s in Newtown, Hampshire.
17th and 18th. Southampton Boat
Show.
19th and 20th. Going to see The
Scotties.
21st. Surrey to Swindon. Drop cases
at Kate’s before delivering the car back to Adam at work in
Torquay.
22nd. Ladsit Jack and Seth whilst
Kate and Mark go to Birmingham for the day.
23rd. Hopefully a family Sunday with
Team Tinson.
24th. Final case weight jiggling
before Mark takes us to Heathrow. We fly at 21:35.
25th. We land at 17:50, get the bus
at 21:30.
26th. We arrive at the bus station at
03:00 and hope to be on Beez by 03:30. Our bodies will have no idea whether to
fancy cornflakes, a sandwich or a curry so I guess it will be a cup of tea and
sort one of the cases before crashing and burning for a few hours before heading
out in the marina car for food supplies.
27th. Any chance of a day
off............
No wonder when I see caravan
neighbours sitting outside with a cup of tea and the daily papers I want to beat
them to a pulp.
I better sit and enjoy the timid,
tepid sunset for a few minutes then.
ALL IN ALL NOT A USUAL
RETIREMENT ???
