Sat 06th March

The alarm went at five and ant jumped out of bed and started to ready himself for work, i came down and made coffee for us both and then sat and watched the news for a while, i hadn't slept too well so was feeling a little tired. Ant came down ready for the off, so we drank up and headed out. I made a quick stop at Hesdin to put some petrol in the car and then we high tailed it up to the Eurotunnel and made the train in plenty of time.
The traffic on the uk side was nice and quiet so i dropped ant off about an hour before his report time then headed back towards Ashford. I stopped at Tesco and got some bits and pieces, including two new books, then headed down to the Eurotunnel, tried to check in but i was too early, the next available free one was in an hour thirty so i accepted that and went to the terminal. I had a mooch around the WHSmiths, then the duty free and the cheap electrical shop then went back to the car, ate the chicken drumsticks i had bought from Tesco and read. The crossing was ok, there was a screaming baby in the car behind me but i put the windows up and got on with my book and it didn't bother me.
When I got back to France I sped down the motorway and was back within one hour, I got in and let the dogs out, much to their relief and sorted the shopping out. As i was feeling a little tired the dog walking and exercises were put on a back burner and I settled down to some Futurama dvds, which I enjoyed. I finished off the cake from the day before and made a bit of a pig of myself but today was spoil myself day due to the early start and the unexpected loss of ant for the day.
I had a nice meal a bit later on, chicken in bacon and cheese with sweet potato, and carried on watching Futurama till I had watched the three features I own. I put the dogs out quite early, went online to see if ant was about, to no avail, then went up to bed with my book and the dogs, read till half eleven then went to sleep.
