Diary Entry – 18th May 2024

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!!

Welcome to todays diary entry! Today was another absolute scorcher and to be fair after having done 2 shows now back to back and both shows being very good weather i am starting to get a bit of a tan. Probably the best bit of a tan that i have had for some time to be honest. Certainly better than in Morocco. I am going to approach it so much more differently this time when we get over there this winter i am going to spend as much time as possible outside and if i need to have lots on incense to keep the flies away then that is what i will do.

Show life taking its toll!

I don’t feel like i spent a lot of time outside for some reason not sure as to why but will certainly be making up for it this winter. I cannot wait to get back. It is something I think about a lot. Anyway, enough of that for now i am instead going to focus on the here and now. We spoke last night about whether we needed another stock run back to the shop or not and if we needed more stuff and i said i think we are ok and based on how the day has gone today i think we should be ok.

But by 12pm we had had a real flurry of activity and we got wiped out of most stock so that meant an emergency stock run. So the Dodge jumped in the Berlingo and headed off whilst me and Jen/ Gina (don’t ask) tried to put together a bit of a list so that once back in the shop he could a supermarket sweep and try and get back to us as quickly as he possibly could. He ended up bring another full van back up and so we set to emptying and putting the stuff back out again and replenning the shop. The only worry then was if we didn’t have another flurry like that then we have to pack all of this stuff back up again

As it started to get later on in the evening we kept the shop open for any late night post pub stragglers that were feeling flush with there money and sat outside the motorhome having some food and some drinks. I accidentally went to put the Beef to sleep about 9ish and then i don’t know what happened but I seemed to fall asleep and the next thing i remember was being woken up by Lisa coming back into the Motorhome and her legs being absolutely bloody freezing. Although I did catch the last round of the Fury Usyk fight. I was going to try and watch the whole thing but me and Beef must have nodded off.
