M is doing laundry in a launderette in an Edinburgh suburb while I'm parked with the kids in the van in the street. We moved things around again yesterday. The kids, and the tv, are now back in the bed area above the cab, and Jetan has his own "room" in the small area at the back. This leaves the central eating area as M and my evening chill out area, which converts to a bed...not the most comfortable, since in the middle of the night Jetan ends up shoving inbetween us, and I end up curled on one side....but, at least all the kids can be sent to their "rooms" when I need them out of our hair. It seems to work well...according to the past 12hrs anyway :) Living in a van is all about management ;-)
We're back in Edinburgh, and looking forward to see-ing more of the Fringe Festival which runs all week, then we go down to Keslo for a mass band competition with pipers and dancing, and another at Kirkubrite on the coast on the 27th. We'll most likely travel right down to Wales for a few days, and Cornwall area and back across to London around the 5Sept, and across to France around the 10th. Later than we had planned, but we can make it up later. Internet access in France is our biggest worry...if we cant find it, we wont stay long....but campsites should provide it if we do proper Internet searches.....
I must say that none of the actual itinerary plans we made before leaving have actually worked out :) Mostly because when you get to an area, your tastes at the time change. We dont really want to see another castle for instance.:) Lakes...seen those. Stone buildings.....done that. We're having a great time, but it is difficult to see something new every day, when you travel for so long..Things become familiar quite quickly, so you start seeking out things that are really different... like EURODISNEY. We havent booked yet, but going to soon. I'm looking forward to our next 2 weeks, but dont really know what to expect of France at all. Does it have anything that England, Scotland and Wales dont have for instance. Oh Yes....it has the French :) That should be something to grasp...the language gap. I can just see myself... excusem moi??? Wherrrreee du eyeee finddd La der Internetttt connectioneee Sil vu Ple?
ok, M is back with the clean clothes. Gotta go. Bye.

'ello - eet eez time for a French lesson, no? naaaaaahhhhhh! Hokay then, no lesson. I am almost a happy man, Bev will be home on Monday - can't wait. Weather today has been cold and overcast with winds, plus snow is expected on the 'berg tonight - gggrrrrrr!!! Saturday the Springboks are playing Scotland - this is tomorrow so I will be expecting a game report from you. It's sacrilege, you are in Scotland on a test match day - in the same town where the game will be played and you make no mention of it - must be the French influence ..... old on, I'm French and I'm interested ..... I'll never get this right.
Have a superb day & God Bless.
