Left or right?

We’re at a bit of junction. Turn left and next week we will cross the channel (towing the trike) and head south to find Mrs Sun. Turn right and we hunker down and see out the corona virus pandemic. I think we’ve made up our minds, in that we will aim to go but if

had a practice of putting bike on trailer – on my own. Works a treat

this country or Spain or France are in lock down, then we will think again. C’s talking about maybe heading to Scotland or Pembrokeshire if that’s the case. We’ll see.

I finish work tomorrow. I’ve just had seven days with the school and, even if I say so myself, that went rather well. It was tough (three 7.30pm finishes, and I was in every day for 7.45 am) and the reports took their toll. But it’s done. For the military think 12 OJARs, each at least a page and a half long … one or two, two and a half pages. All evidential (I don’t know the 12, so I have to find out), peppered with quotes and all with ‘areas of improvement’. Monday, face-to-face with the 12, was tough. But I managed it. I am now waiting on feedback, although verbally the noises were all good.

I’m with the MoD tomorrow and then we’re driving to Mum’s until Saturday … and then a day or so getting our poop in a sock before we follow FCO advice on whether or not we can travel. In some ways we will sort of be ‘self isolating’ in Doris. I like that idea.

I drank the school out of mint tea

Sorrel (Unsuspecting Hero‘s narrator) has done a fab job of the first part of the prologue. I think her voice is enchanting and she really creates an atmosphere. However, whilst my s-i-l, James, can edit out the background hiss, currently our rig keeps ‘crackling’ every so often, which he can’t sort. So we’re working on that. What I will do is once I have something done I will post it here so you can listen to it. Once the book’s published on Audible I will take it off, but by then those of you who want to listen to it should have had a chance to hear the whole book. I’ll let you know.

That’s it from me. We’re currently binge watching Ozark on Netflix. Fab US black drama with a hint of comedy. Loving it.

 

Till Sunday.

I stayed with a pal of mine, Kenn, on Monday. He’s into house sitting. Some sits are more fun than others!
