After nearly a fortnight without internet access the orange engineer arrived and fixed the problem, thank goodness. I went online and trawled through the hundreds of spam emails, i had not missed anything important. I phoned mum and we had a good chat then got back on with the housework, ant returns today after a nine day trip, so i have missed him a lot. I drove up to pick him up at Calais and we chatted all the way home, got him settled in, he gave me three dvds and a book, very nice. Jackie phoned and informed ant about travel concessions on Eurostar so i phoned them and sorted out all his commuting for the next six weeks, much better rates than we have been paying. after we had bathed and had something to eat we settled down to a Kath and Kim evening with a glass of wine or two, which we both enjoyed, before heading off to bed.
Tuesday we woke before eight, got up, had coffee and got ready to head off for the day. I had booked a cheap Eurotunnel ticket, so we headed back up to Calais and crossed under the channel. We drove up to Ashford and went to Asda, did a mega shop, some very good deals, then headed to Tescos to get some other bits a pieces, and a microwave. We were back at the Eurotunnel by ten to one and got back to France half an hour before i had planned. We stopped in on Jackie and Tony and dropped off the bits we had picked up for them, had a cup of tea then headed home. We unpacked enough food to feed an army and put it all away, should not need to buy any meat for a month. Then we gave the micro a test run on the curry in a bag we had got for dinner, it was quite nice and a lot easier and felt almost futuristic. I have not had a microwave for at least three years. We had another evening in front of the tv before heading to bed.
