So the road trip plan is going on \u2013 and on \u2013 and on. I am the culprit. I could organise I piss up in a brewery but other than that organising anything confuses my brain completely.<\/p>\n

I need to drive from Edinburgh to Barcelona by car.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t fly. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to. I can\u2019t so I have no choice.<\/p>\n

So I look at the map.<\/p>\n

I can see where I am and where I want to go but how do you plan it?
\nHow do you know where to stop?<\/p>\n

When to stop?
\nHow many miles you can realistically drive on a day to day in a right hand drive car in France or Spain?<\/p>\n

A pal told me I need a breathalyser \u2013 thanks I said \u2013 no he meant legally in France you must have two in the car. Oh. OK<\/p>\n

\"images\"<\/p>\n

Also on the list are two high viz jackets.
\nWhere do you get those? I said arriving to buy some tea lights from IKEA and instantly stumbling into a huge pile of high viz jackets for about 90p each. Weird.<\/p>\n

\"Unknown\"<\/p>\n

But as it’s IKEA not only is it weird – its a bargain.<\/p>\n

Though I do get distracted with why one earth do IKEa sell high viz jackets?<\/p>\n

Is it \u00a0for people who fall asleep half way through building a flat pack so their family don\u2019t trip over their \u00a0prone exhausted \u00a0bodies as they go about their business. Anyway it was a happy coincidence whatever the reason.<\/p>\n

So I bought 2 for me and 2 for him and so he got the breathalysers so all we need now is the route.<\/p>\n

Even the drive to Dover is confusing.<\/p>\n

Drive all the way in a day or stop over somewhere and if so where?<\/p>\n

Or get a ferry from Newcastle?<\/p>\n

And so it goes on so prevarication wins out as usual.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which it\u2019s Good Friday \u2013 Happy Easter \u2013 I am off to stuff my chops with chocolate eggs in the hope the rush of sugar to the brain will effect a shift in my capacity to plan\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
