What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we had blue skies, sunshine, everything perfect. Today? Cold. Wet. Grey. And neither of us could be bothered with it. So we stayed put. In the van. ALL day. Didn’t even open the door.

We’ve been going pretty hard for over three weeks now, with only one real rest day when we got snowed in. So this felt earned. And the weather wasn’t tempting us to do anything else.

The upside? I made good progress on my next video. No idea what Mike did all day – probably plotted new ways to beat me at Monopoly Deal.

We really need more games. We’ve only got chess and Monopoly Deal. I prefer chess as it requires some actual skill. As for Monopoly Deal, Mike always gets the Deal Breakers and “Just Say No” cards. I’m convinced the deck is cursed. I’d like to say he cheats, but that’s probably more my skill.

We ran the diesel heater most of yesterday, so we dropped to 78% on our 200 amp hour system. Still plenty left and we could easily go a few more days off-grid, even without sun.

For lunch we had soup and garlic bread, and for dinner we had pizza! Well, it was a wrap cooked in the fry pan with bacon, cheese and mushroom and folded over like a calzone. But it was still yummy. I really need to eat some vegetables. Diet starts tomorrow!
