Stash

I’m being very good about doing the exercises for my knee. They take a while.

I started preparing some food for tomorrow as I’m doing several dishes for 4 friends coming. I made a blackcurrant cheesecake and the date/tamarind dressing for the chick pea and potato chaat.

Then I tried to work out distances with google maps to see what we could fit in with only a month in the van. I don’t want to be just sitting in the van while Mr C happily drives along till it’s time for me to make dinner. But there’s a lot of miles to cover to Puglia.

He took the car down for the long-awaited fixing. Oh dear. Not good news. They said we were lucky to get it back from Germany. Now it has to stay there till they get parts to fix it. We really need to source another car but having recently spent over £1000 on wheels/tires and now this issue hopefully it can go a bit longer. It’s a 10 year old Ford. Our first and last. Back to VW (or Skoda).

We needed stuff in town so had to take the van.

Here’s my current holiday stash - I’m sure I won’t get any time to read it. But once I ran short - never again. I had to resort to the iPad.
