Hangover Day

Friday 3rd June 2016

                                                         Cold and overcast Ille Grande

A late start today - I've got a cold and a bit of a hangover - Jackie isn't much better !!

I spent a few hours tracking down a computer problem on the main built in computer.
It started yesterday - It went haywire and I had to turn off the power to it to stop it.
After that it wouldn't do anything.

This morning I systematically went through it and found that the ship tracking AIS device was causing the problem - I isolated it and we are back in busyness - thank goodness !!
I hope to get that fixed by the manufacturer ( UK ).

We went out to Ille Grande - Penny's favourite beach - cold and overcast with the tide right out.
We tested the new flask - Great !!
Penny kept finding seaweed stalks (dry) and burying then - shovelling sand with her nose - uhh !

Off to the post office to get stamps for letters to the UK.

A trip to the supermarket - prawns on offer - just the job for lunch.
We found some beef ribs at very low cost - spot on for a big stew.

                                               Our 50 year old Prestige pressure cooker pot

Jackie cleared out all our veg that was ready for using up and made a huge beef stew in our two gallon pot.
It's an old pressure cooker but not safe now to use under pressure - so we just use it for a big stew with a lid that won't come off in a storm !!!

Penny enjoyed the beef rib bones !!

A relaxing day.

Mike - Jackie + Penny.
