It's been a busy old day today, getting everything gathered together for packing, making last minute phone calls, ensuring we have all the tickets and bookings, passports and diving licences ready, seeing friends and neighbours, organising the gardener to do the pruning and readying of the garden for the winter, setting up the lights on clock timers, ordering a taxi to take us to the station, last minute washing of clothes and the bedding, defrosting the fridge and freezer, picking up the windfalls from our apple tree - huge crop this year - hope the neighbours will come and get them while we are away - they make great apple pies ans crumbles and cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms. We are tired but just about ready.
It will be a take away for dinner tonight - Terry is too tired to cook.
Had a last minute panic as the supplements and medicines ordered from my ME specialist, promised to be posted by last Thursday to arrive Friday had not arrived by yesterday. Tried to phone the surgery and couldn't get through before they closed, so had to send a message. Anyway they arrived this morning to my great relief. Some of the things I take can be got in the USA but some cannot. Panic over!
Our next blog, God willing, will be of our safe arrival in LA and getting to the rig parked in Banning , an hour and a half hours ride east of LA. We get in too late to reach it on Thursday, so are booked into a motel for the night and will arrive on Friday. The truck is in being serviced today and the trailer axles are being checked and the bearings repacked. Found a guy who would take the truck to the garage for the service and then he will do the trailer axles on site. SO, hopefully the rig will be ready for us when we get there- fingers crossed.
The weather seems to be still quite hot out there so have packed some cool clothes in my hand luggage to change into when we get there.
