Weather Report..................

No problem, available everywhere, but a record £107 to fill our little van!
Just looked back on my spreadsheet. First tank of diesel on delivery on 21 April 21 cost £88.34 for 72.00 litres. Going by today's price, that would have increased to £108.65. The trip to Spain is about 1850 miles each way so around £425 each way just for fuel, unless diesel in Spain is a lot cheaper ... 'This is going to hurt', springs to mind ...

Our Bank has just declared bumper profits; wonder if they'd like to sponsor us? :rolleyes: :D

You made a wise move! Wind is whipping across from the Forth, blowing light rain/moisture in the air, 'that rain that gets you proper wet ...' as Peter Kay says; quite a wind chill factor too, feeling pure dead Baltic [I made the mistake of washing the car whilst having the M/Home new n/s front tyre balance weight replaced, after the 3 weeks old version fell off last night ...]

It's presently darker than the norm in mid December, and thoroughly miserable! Lounge lights on before 3pm!

The forecast says 5 degrees and cloud. The weather says heavy rain. Ideal for packing and washing the Van; the latter looks like it may be a soap free contactless rinsing only

After yesterday's rain it's turned into a dry, bright day, here in East Sussex, with a light breeze and 10° high. :)
 
Nice calm sunny day on the seven seas
Did you have problems supplying the API details before the Trip, Gordon? I complained to DFDS when I made the Booking that the website wasn't allowing the uploading of API Data, and had an email reply indicating that I would receive a further email 'a few days before sailing'. 3 days before Sailing date and nothing received. I've emailed the information that I believe that they will require and asked DFDS to confirm that we will be able to Board. They are worse than useless since the COVID service reduction!
