On the Road Again!

It certainly looks that way. Fuel prices have started to come down a little. Locally diesel has dropped around 6p a litre but is still ridiculously high. In Europe, from the apps I have on my phone, prices are higher than here except in Spain. As long as the government are still keeping the tax cut, then it's way cheaper.  Currently the fuel price apps are showing €1.66 a litre near where we are spending our first few nights.... That's currently £1.44. I have had a look at the maps and am still thinking about where to go after San Vicente . This time I am thinking of spending more time in each place we go to. Instead of one night, depending on where we end up, two or longer.  I am looking at some familiar places on the Mediterranean coast for longer stops, whether aires or campsites. San Vicente de la Barquera I have booked an appointment for Reggie's rabies jab at a vet in San Vicente and apart from the opening few days camp...

PSG!! Despite it being a massive stadium in Budapest the teams are getting about half split into halves again, 16500. UEFA will be able to reward all their arse kissers and other tossers with seats that genuine fans could have used, but the corporate troughs need to be filled.... And the prices are disgustingly expensive.

After the game in Madrid last week, when the game ended up all square at 1-1, no one was expecting an easy game.  And it wasn't.   In the end it took some good work from Gyokeres with a cross to Trossard whose shot was only parried and Saka reacted quicker to scoop the ball into the net. 1-0 to the Arsenal. Who will we get on May 30th in Budapest? Do I wish I had gone tonight, rather than selling my ticket to my mate Phil? Yes and no. I might have some finger nails left had I been there and not watched on Amazon Prime.

 This is a short video I took with the Sony DSC-P200 last Thursday when I was volunteering at Kent Greyhound Rescue. I have been going there for 4 years to feed and exercise the dogs. It's hard not to get attached!

Why? The bee sting that I got whilst away in Wantage at Off Grid was very infected. It seems that after 70 years on this earth, this is the first time any of the stripey little bastards have stung me. It also seems that I am allergic to bee venom!!! The reaction led to a visit to the pharmacist on Wednesday after I got back as what was a little sting had spread around 4 by 2 inches around my arm. It was painful to touch.  The pharmacist gave me anti-histamine pills and a tube of cream.  By the end of the week it was still getting redder and the inflammation spread almost to my elbow. I tried to keep it covered. One pissy little bee sting!! On the train home on Saturday evening I got into a long chat with two nice ladies who were concerned about the size and how nasty it looked. So Sunday when we were supposed to be going to the Hop Farm, we went to the minor injuries clinic at Folkestone Royal Victoria Hospital. Luckily...
