Something caught my eye on Facebook. A new bus timetable for the number 56 Lincoln to Skegness service. I drilled down. Three quid each way. That’s totes ridiculous. The downside is that it takes two hours with a stopover in Horncastle. If yer going to Skeggy for a day out on the bus it seems natural that you would want a few beers. That makes for an awkward return journey. Makes more sense to me to catch a train which is 25 mins quicker and has an on board loo. A lot more expensive though at £31 return with a senior railcard. Lincoln to Cleethorpes return is even better at an hour and seven minutes and £16 return. That’s that sorted then. Mind you there is more to do in Skeggy. Hmm. This needs some careful consideration.
I’ve been wanting to go on a day out to the coast by public transport for ages. Can’t get anyone to come with me. It’s just over an hour by car so that would be an option if someone else was willing to drive. I suppose I could drive if push came to a shove. We did go to Skegness in campervan Betty once. Just for the day. Not far off the time we will be getting her out of storage and taking her for a spin. I guess.
Usually we have fish and chips in the clocktower chippy. I have a small haddock and chips with mushy peas, tartare sauce and bread and butter washed down with a cup of tea or two. If we have a chippy tea at home I am more likely to have a jumbo battered sausage with curry sauce, and chips obvs. No vinegar. I don’t do vinegar on my chips. Only salt. I do like decent olive oil and vinegar, balsamic. Not with chips though. Nice bread. If im making a vinaigrette I use white wine vinegar not balsamic. They seem to call it white condiment these days. Use the best quality oil and vinegar you can. Makes a big difference.
Listening to the wireless right now. About the rising cost of taking your pet to the vet. We don’t have a pet. I quite like the concept of having a dog. Man’s best friend an all that. It’s the practicalities that don’t do it for me. Add in big vets bills and it’s a wrap.
On a separate subject I casually glanced at BA long haul flight options for next year. A business class return to Cancun is £500 plus 200k Avios. So that would be £1,000 for two people plus 200k Avios and using a companion voucher. Long haul used to be the sensible way of spending Avios and vouchers but it is rapidly becoming less interesting. Am starting to think we should be spending them on European flights. The Algarve maybe or Greece. Organising these trips isn’t helped by the fact that the BA website is useless.
