48 hrs till pedalling!

It's the middle of the week and we have only 48 hrs left.

This time on Friday we will be on the Ferry which has just left the harbour. Everything is ready to be packed. Lists have been made for the housesitter as well as a full list of emergency numbers.
I am keeping an eye on the Germany weather forecast - seems like a lot of thunder going on there, oh dear! But then it can't be worse than here. I've driven tonight behind a road cyclist who was so drenched, I really felt sorry for him. He was obviously caught in thetorrential rain that fell a mere 20 minutes before and I watched him struggling through huge puddles of water on the verge of the road. He nevertheless kept his head down and plough on. I hope he didn't have far to go.

I found another packing list on the web and pinched two items to add to mine - a bungee cord and some ziplock bags. The bungee cord will come in very handy on the trains that we need to take to ensure the bike/s are tied properly.
