It’s 06:20 and I’ve been up for nearly an hour sorting out my BA baggage claim. They are complete tossers or at least their system is. It is designed to make it hard for people to claim and doesn’t engender any loyalty. I’ve sent them the same information 3 times now. If they don’t come up with the goods the small claims court beckons. Now off to make the tea.
Oh and the batch processing run I set for overnight still hasn’t finished. Huh!
…
OMFG it’s another gorgeous morning on the deck. THG’s energising granola with yo to start the day with a chopped nectarine and what must be approaching the end of last year’s blackberry crop.
My khaki shorts are drying on the line. Uhuh I hear you say. Well they form an integral part of my outfit for the upcoming forties weekend in Woodhall Spa. Whether they are authentic or not doesn’t matter. I’m sure they didn’t used to buy polyester “adventure” shorts from China in those days but had they done so I’m sure they would have been part of the uniform. V comfortable technical gear innit. Perfect for golf and forties weekends in Woodhall Spa.
I’ve started the process of preparing camper van Betty for the trip. Well I’ve put the pop top up. A few loose screws to tighten, a tap to fix, stuff like that. Also got all the camping boxes out so that we can look through them. Won’t need all of it. Basically eating irons and crockery and a pan or two for doing breakfast, although if someone else has already fired up their teppanyaki grill then I’d piggy back on that. We do have our own teppanyaki grill and at Jubilee Park we will have an electric hookup so that is an option. We can also use the gas cooker if necessary. We do have a cool box which is going to be totes necessary this weekend seeing as a heatwave is currently making its way in this direction. All it does is take the temperature down a few degrees below ambient so it won’t be particularly cold but it’ll be better than nothing. Usually on the Sunday we have a communal breakfast but Saturday is typically diy. I have a bonus Thursday night stay this weekend so even better.
