Kevnjan's big adventure.

Fri.23rd.Dec.
Lovely morning, bright and sunny.  Packed up van for trip to local supermarket to get a few bits of shopping.  €55 on what??  A few bits!!  No booze - it's easy to spend here.  Went back to the van, couldn't fit it all into the little freezer.  Oh well, we'll just have to eat it.  Went to Donnalucata, not much there, bought a saucepan.  Had some coffee, walked along the sea front, sat in the sun.  Returned to site around 12.30 and had some lunch, smoked salmon on crusty bread, (Ah that's where the money goes.) Jan did a little hand washing and I sat in the sun and put together Jan's first Christmas surprise, a father Christmas that climbs up a ladder, singing Jingle Bells.  She was thrilled, I don't normally do Christmas stuff but she's been very good.  I could get fed up with Jingle Bells pretty soon though.  We went for a walk on the beach and when we returned Geert and Maria had turned up, it was good to see them, later, after dinner we spent an hour with them and compared notes and blogs.  I sneaked back to the van and prepared Jan's second surprise, fairy lights for the van.  There were so many I had to string them all around the outside.  They look fabulous, flashing and changing colour and generally brightening up the place.  Jan's face when she saw them was a picture.  She loves stuff like that.  So now we are ready for Christmas, I've got some brownie points in the bank and the weather's set fair for Christmas Eve.  Might have a whisky!!
