Kevnjan's big adventure.

Sat. 18th. Feb. A beautiful day, wind dropped, clouds gone, sun shining. I spent a while sealing cracks in the bathroom floor with mastic and tape. While we are wild camping more it will be nice to have an occasional shower. We walked into Otranto to the Post Office and looked for the market we had been directed to. It took us a while to figure out that we'd been directed to a supermarket!! There was no market. We bought fish and groceries, rather more than was sensible as we had to walk back up the hill with heavy bags and it was hot!! We put the chairs outside for the first time in weeks and sat in the sun. Glorious. I emptied out the garage and reorganised everything in an effort to create a bit of space, it was the first opportunity we'd had since the work was done. Felt better for that and we rewarded ourselves with a walk into town and a gelato. The town is very pretty with an enormous castle and picture postcard harbour. Dinner for once was awful, the fish we'd bought was most unpleasant and we didn't enjoy it. Still can't be perfect all the time. Saw a cruise liner sailing across the bay, all lit up, in the dark, looked like it was floating through the sky. Saw that Sunderland had beaten Arsenal in the cup. How could Villa have been so stupid as to let Martin O'Neill get away. Crazy!! Wash the van tomorrow, it's filthy. (that will bring the rain.)
