Rachel's Next Adventure

Another relatively slow month house wise! The first week of July we had our joiner/electrician back for three days. He built us a new - I don't know the word, basically the sloped board thats above the stairs - and fitted that for us as the old one needed removing. He also flipped the office door for us so it doesn't open into a wall anymore, and moved the light switch to the other wall. We also had two more light fittings changed - now we just need the kitchen and extension lights changing, but those can wait for now. We got a few more boxes from Wilko and managed to put a few more Halloween, Easter and Christmas bits away that we'd found in the back room. We also ended up buying a few more bits in the PoundWorld closing down sale so we still need to put those away. We also picked up a nice storage box from the PoundWorld sale, and some black car spray paint from Poundland to repaint it to it'll match our living room. Now I just want the new ...

The final update. We've finally bought and received our Green car Japan Rail Passes - we bought them from JTB . We decided to go with Green again as we'll be travelling during the busy August period and in Green Car you have enough space between you and the seat in front to store your suitcase.  We've bought a new hand held fan to help us tackle the 39ºC temperatures we're going to be standing in at Disneyland and DisneySea. I've tested it out and it's amazing! It has three speeds/strengths and is better than the mains one I use at home! This is the one we bought. I've finally sorted a new hand luggage bag as my camera bag isn't big enough now that I need to take medication, prescriptions etc with me. I've decided to use this one I bought in Walt Disney World last year as it has the side bottle pockets. Really not impressed with the quality though so i'm hoping it doesn't jam up or fall apart on the flight....
