26th January All Ready to Go

First stop this morning was over at the dentist (again!). This time it was to sort out my new retainer - so no teeth grinding for me 😁.

Then we've been non stop all day. Back home I made a start on defrosting the fridge/freezer (turned it off!) and cleaning the oven (yes I know it all sounds a bit rash for someone who hates housework). All this before we headed over to catch up with Ian's Mum and to drop off birthday gifts. 

Once we returned it was a quick lunch before I met up with the walking crew + Wally. As usual when walking with Wally, Karen ended up walking twice the distance we did 😅. He's certainly a very energetic dog.

This afternoon Ian was finishing his packing and we ended up in a 'hunt the shoes' mode as they'd disappeared. I know I'm always tidying them away but it definitely wasn't today 😁. Thankfully he managed to locate a suitable pair to pack.

Then Amy returned from her final day at work and we finalised her packing - this needed a bit more serious work but eventually we pruned down the bucket load of miscellaneous items to just a handful. If we forget anything we can always get it when we arrive and we're not going to starve on the flights with 4 meals and snacks in the 24 hour journey.

With our fridge/freezer just about empty and cupboards looking a bit bare we had dinner out this evening. There's only half a chunk of cheese left but Freddie will eat that before we go. That leaves 2 apples and a small bunch of grapes to finish for breakfast - very healthy.

One more sleep and we're off!
