Finally after weeks of preparation we're ready to take off, there's still so many things to think about but whatever we've forgotten we'll sort out when we get there. My thumbs still playing up after I slipped with an electrician's screwdriver at the weekend and managed to stick it right in to the end of my thumb; which must have nicked the nerve as although it soon stopped bleeding the whole of my thumb from tip to my wrist is pretty much dead, oh well it could be worse.

The trip down to our overnight stopover in Dover took an agonising 4.5 hrs due to roadwork's and accidents, anyway we've now settled down with an early glass of wine to be followed by a short walk through the adjacent woods and the dinner before settling down for an early night as we need to be up at 04:00 for tomorrows ferry. On a more positive note my thumbs is slowly coming back to life as in it's now permanently suffering from pins & needles.
