Morning again. Quite a bit fresher so hilly willy walk done 
Still breaking a sweat on the climb but soon cooled down again on the descent and was almost feeling cold when I got back so porridge had this morning instead of weetabix. Need to pop round to the supermarket for a few things this morning.

Camper van sold. I'd worked out that with tax, Insurance, maintenance, all the rest of it, we'd need to use it for at least 14 overnight stays a year to break even against the cost of a moderate hotel room. We weren't getting halfway to that so it's gone.
Can't say I'll miss it if I'm honest.

I popped out intending to have around half an hour's walk before lunch. Being a typical rain magnet, it came on within a few minutes so I cut it short, nearly back at the house and it went off!

I'm easily pleased.
I'd ordered a rear bumper protector for the 2008 because it was getting scratched where Bruce is in and out the boot four times a day. And sure enough, just this morning my nice stainless bumper protector arrived.
All well and good. But what really got me excited was the packaging. I'd expected it to arrive in a long cardboard box, but it actually came in a rigid plastic box about 3 feet long, and inches deep and 5 or 6 tall. Brilliant, it must have cost a few good shekels and is now proudly on my pile of tat that I never throw away in case it comes in useful one day. Great stuff.

Part defrosted now. I took 2 containers out. One, I am sure, is goulash and the other MIGHT be curry but that is a guess.

I bet that farmer next door wonders why he has so many 3 legged lambs.
