It is overcast but not too cool.

Awake early again, but I had bought a book yesterday (And the Mountains Echoed – Khaled Hosseini) so I read for a while until the rest of the family woke up.  Two books for 7.00 pounds, ($14.00), I love it.  Ralf had arranged to go for a bike ride with Nick (Lindsey’s hubby).  A twenty mile trail ride through Attenborough Nature Reserve into Nottingham.  Ralf used one of Nick’s old Mountain bikes.  They were back in two hours, Nick looking a little tired, Ralf looking refreshed because he had been for a bike ride. I can’t wait to get the bikes back so that we can get on the road again.

I updated the blog and chatted to Lindsey and Millie.

Today we got the phone sorted out – new sim card and data package for 30.00 pounds for 3 months texting, data and calls – not bad. We could not get a data stick (they are called dongles here).  We will have to get the data stick in Nottingham when we get back from Joy’s.  Ralf is now getting used to being connected via text msg with everyone.
