Ready

Well almost ...

I took the girls to meet Sue who will be a point of emergency contact. She lives within running distance should they have any emergencies that they need help with. Failing that Tony has introduced them to the guys in the bar next door, many of whom speak a few words of English and would be only to happy to help damsels in distress.  For Animal emergencies Amy has Julie's number, and they've met before, so hopefully every eventuality is covered. They also have a pretty comprehensive house manual for the general day to day things around the house.

We've done the big Lidl shop so they're well stocked up on necessities, and goodies, and they know where to get everything should they run out. We got in a bumper pack of toilet roll -we just can't believe how much the 'fairer' sex get through. A roll will last us ages, we've already got through three since they've been here!

Tony's given the garden a good watering, and instructions on what needs doing out there have been made clear. Woe-betide them should we come back to dead seedlings!!

The animals have got used to their babysitters, Cuddy and Donna have bonded well - Donna has a Brown lab so understands the Labrador mentality.  Xali is his usual chilled self and the cats can take them or leave them, as long as they get their food regularly and on time. 

All we've got to do now is pack up a few things -like the cases, but that'll be a last minute job, then we'll be ready for the off.

Julie is kindly picking us up at 3.00 o'clock to take us up to Barcelona Port, so that is that -All pretty much sorted. 

I will try to blog if we get access (not paying on-board ship prices though) so there may just be an update here during the week ... if not see you in a few days.

Off on the high seas we go ..... the Costa Favulosa awaits
