Preparation

The campervan is going in for its MOT on Friday and we have hatched a plan to leave it over on mainland Orkney then collect when ready, leaving our car in the van's place for its own test. We then will take off to (we hope) Hoy for a couple of nights.  

Mr L has done everything that he wanted to do to prep her for the test and is now engaged in topping up batteries, filling tanks and all the mechanical side of getting ready for a trip. Me, I am washing, cleaning and restocking cupboards. 

The more that we can have packed and ready, the less we shall have to take over in the car and swap into the van when the time comes. One important part of my packing preparation is my knitting, so one of the first things that I did today was to ensure that I have sufficient small and simple knitting projects ready in the van. I have four - do you think that will be enough?

Probably I should be doing more practical things, such as making up the bed but, you know, a girl has her priorities!
