We are taking Mum shopping this morning, and then I need to try and fix the trailer coupling, phone my pension provider, phone a Leicester window cleaner, and figure out what else I can pack to take to storage.
It is gonna be a bit busy today.
Edit: I also need to pop over to the tyre shop to get three more tyres to match the one we had to get for Midge on Friday, after the motorway blowout.

I have overslept this morning. I really needed the extra sleep, and could do with a morning in bed. But I am off to meet Sue at work in a bit.
When we get back we will be heading off to Leicester for the weekend, sorting stuff at Sue's Mum's house.

We are off to the community workshop, and then back to the church hall to pump out more water from the flooded basement.
Then I need to finish loading the trailer, and get it strapped and sheeted.

I am planning an adjustment to the temporary carport I built a decade ago. It is free standing, and I need to make it a little wider by splaying its legs, at one end, out a bit so that the car flat trailer can get under there.
It will either be a fairly easy job, or the idea will be abandoned part way through and everything put back as it was.....

No idea, no idea at all.
We have been so into moving stuff into storage on Sundays that I have no idea what to do with this one given we haven't planned to do that.
So tempting to put a few boxes of stuff into Midge and go to the storage unti anyway.
But I guess we could just have a day of rest.
Not sure yet.

We are going to Levenshulme Repair Cafe this morning.
I am not taking my tools due to a hefty bash on the head that has made me research concussion.
The physical effort to move my tools wouldn't be a good idea.
So I will be an adviser for the others, and help where I can, even if it is only triage or tea making.
Later I want to see if I can do something sensible with some of the crap in my workshop, and plan the next load of stuff to go to Wales.

I think we will be sorting stuff out to load into the trailer today. It depends on how rainy it is going to be.
We might get to load up today, or just have it ready to load tomorrow.
We'll take the trailer to the storage in Wales on Monday, as we'll be going there for house viewings anyway.

I have to pop into work to check on the contractors in a moment, then we take Mum shopping.
I think I will look at repairing the conservatory roof, if it is not raining.
Otherwise, I'll spend some time sorting out the next trailer load, and maybe seeing if I can figure out the process of Linuxing MiL's notebook computer.

I think we are going to load up the trailer this morning, before it rains. Hopefully, we can have another decent load to take to Machynlleth tomorrow.
When it starts to rain I will do something else, I expect.

We are driving down to Leicester today for an appointment with a solicitor.
Won't be back until late afternoon or early evening to do work.
I have a kitchen delivery arriving at work, hopefully someone else can deal with it.
See you all later.

We are taking Mum shopping this morning.
Later I need to plan the logistics of moving some stuff over to Machynlleth.
I am feeling tired and grouchy because next doors kids decided that it was ok to be screaming, shouting, and kicking a ball outside last night from 10:30pm to some time after midnight!
I did eventually fall asleep but was woken by my half brother messaging me from Australia, pinging my phone at 1:30am! He has been muted!
He is also one of those people who can't send one longer message, but each sentence is a new message, as is each photo. Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! FFS!

We are off to Machynlleth this morning with another trailer load.
We have added a shipping container to our storage, so we can start moving the random stuff that doesn't need to be climate controlled. We'll pick up the keys for it today.
As it is a Monday, we can have fish and chips for lunch.
I still have work this afternoon so it will need to be a fairly quick turn around.
We then have a neighbour's cat and fish to feed this week!

The plan today is to start loading the trailer.
It will be a huge shower tray (in case we need it for Mum in the next house), some doors I want to keep, and workshop materials.
Other stuff can be packed into Scout, too.
I will also look at doing an axle swap/upgrade on the trailer in the future, so I think a bit of measuring and designing might be needed.

We are running away today, for a day or normality.
We are going to the Astle Park Steam Rally.
I am wondering if I should take a sack barrow for autojumble purchases....
We are planning on setting up camp beside the arena and waiting for the vehicles to come to us, so food and drinks to be prepared this morning.

We are taking Mum shopping this morning, and then we are heading south, to Winchester, via motorway charging points.
I am leaving my laptop behind.

I am kinda rested, after yesterday, after the whole weekend.
Someone was having a fireworks party last night when I went to bed. 🤦♀️
Today I will not do too much. Both cars have been battery charging overnight so I will check on them, I am fearing Scout will need a new AGM (stop start) battery soon. They are silly amounts of money!
My fault for not thinking to keep the battery trickle charged while we have been driving Midge about so much.
I am also going to check on Mum more frequently, and also have a talk with her to see what her thoughts are if her health gets worse while we are planning to move house.
I know what she will suggest, but I need to work with realistic options.

We are up early again, though not as early as yesterday.
We are having eggs for breakfast, and then we'll head off to Machynlleth, with Scout and the trailer, to put more stuff into storage.
We'll be back this evening.

I overslept a bit. That is a good thing, as I also slept all night.
I am off to meet Sue at work in a bit.
Afterwards we'll start putting stuff into Midge to take to the car boot sale tomorrow morning. I mustn't forget to fit the roof rack and strap on the folding table.
Then there is work at the Meeting House to do before I can call it a day for Friday.
I think I am tired already!

We are taking Mum shopping this morning, then I am carrying on with the trailer work.
I have a front marker light not working, and I need to replace the tailgate cable stay hooks.
I could do with an axle swap, but it needs a major modification to fit. I might just save the new axle for a new trailer build in the future.

We are off to Wales again. The trailer is loaded up and sheeted over, and we are heading to the storage unit in Machynlleth.
Strangely it is very wet outside, oh well, that will just add to the fun of the drive!
We should be back by late afternoon, I expect. I am going to be tired, especially given the trip to Leicester and back we have already done this weekend.
