A short run out for LPG!

Today's jaunt for Molly was to the BP petrol station by Dover Western Docks.

Essentially to fill the LPG bottles and maybe a snifter of diesel. But also to give MyRouteApp Navigation one last chance. I set a route and it worked. We had sound. 

We are off the Spain in just over a week and have been seeing Facebook and YouTube posts about how cheap diesel is on Spain. Plus that it's getting more difficult to get LPG due to some change on Spanish or EU law. Whatever!

Hence the massive 98p spent on LPG today. 

As for diesel. It was 159.9 per litre so I decided to make sure we had enough in the tank for the drive to Portsmouth and the Brittany Ferries shop, and enough to find some cheap diesel ⛽ in Spain!

As usual the pump clocks over the amount you want. Trying to stop firstly at £30, then £35 led to £40... Eventually I stopped at £42.02. Add the 98p and it's a round £43!!!!

So today we have managed around 30 miles. As it was a part fill the Fuelly app won't give a miles per gallon until the next full tank. That will be Repsol or Cepsa?

Once back home I got the Bluetti AC70 out to make sure it is fully charged. It was still showing 100%. I charged a few camera batteries to give it something to do.

After watching Arsenal win the North London Derby again the vermin known as Tottenham Hotspur, I took the dog for his walk. 

Near where we live is the replica sound mirror. The real one is up on the Roughs. It's almost 100 years old. The replica, ironically, was cast in Germany. The mirrors are the fore runner to radar!

Now back to planning the Spain routes.
