My house already looking like a camp site! Most of the day at work (although obviously not concentrating) and heading off for the night sailing to Caen from Portsmouth.

Planning to have a nice hot chocolate and then to bed.......yeah, right!

Tip from French resident sister last night, for beer shopping Lidl is the way to go apparently. Checked their web site and it's true! Might be worth looking out for, I've found one on my route and will be stopping by.

It's looking like the next time i will get some sleep will be tomorrow night after pitching camp, a dodgy bbq and checking out the evening qualifying...can't wait! bounce

Leaving home at 11:00 tonight, on the 01:23 Euro tunnel crossing hoping to be all set up at Mulsanne by 08:00. Then it's a couple of breakfast beers and some shut eye before practice starts.
