29th December
Being back in the Barbican – but not in our own home – feels very odd. However we have been busy with unpacking, sorting, packing, shopping, meeting up with friends etc, so no time to worry too much.
Big thank you to Bank of Ireland in Ennistymon - still time for helpful personal service - so that I could get the cash to pay for the replacement car. Driving 900 miles through some very bad winter weather was a challenge and probably as well that I didn’t have to do it in the MG. The Focus has been fine – after the initial panic when it leaked most of its engine oil due to mistake by the mechanic doing the service. Luckily I noticed before I had gone to far and managed to limp back to the garage to get it sorted.
Think we are almost there now – last shopping trip this afternoon and then off to my folks for Hogmanay. Then back to London for final packing over the weekend. Don’t know how I will fit all this stuff into the backpacks but that will be Sunday’s problem. Luckily we have opted to fly to Costa Rica via Madrid rather than the USA so should avoid the new security measures – not sure how I would cope with Rosa Kleb searching my keks for high explosives!
