What to do?

 Re the stolen caravan - it's a condition of our Park's terms of agreement that all of our caravans, be they statics like ours or touring caravans on a permanent or seasonal pitch, must have insurance, we also have to have yearly gas inspections and 5-yearly electricity supply inspections.  So the owners will get an insurance payout, I'm assuming - unless their insurers try and wriggle out of it somehow.  They did have security devices (wheel clamps and hitchlock) fitted to their van, but the thieves came equipped for that and used something to just cut them off.  

Years ago we had our touring caravan stolen, we'd bought it brand new and only had it 8 weeks, it was fitted with all appropriate security devices and a tracker, but still got stolen - by professional thieves.  I firmly believe that if thieves want something enough, they'll have it, regardless of how we try to stop them - after all, stealing is their job so they're very good at it!  We did get the caravan back, amazingly, but the thieves had done a few thousand pounds worth of damage to it - as they were selling it on to an unscrupulous businessman who was buying it to use as accommodation for temporary foreign workers, they didn't really care about damage.  It was repaired by the dealer we originally bought it from, to a very high standard - back to brand new.  Our insurance paid for all the work.  It was all very upsetting at the time though.

I did a big choppy salad yesterday to keep in the fridge for my lunches, and a trayful of Mediterranean roasted veggies plus a cauli cheese, to fill up the oven as I had it on for a loaf of bread.  The bread was a packet sourdough mix from Aldi, not seen it before, I thought I'd give it a try as it's less than half the price of the sourdough loaf I usually buy.  Sourdough bread (proper sourdough, that is) has less of a bloating impact on my digestive system than any ordinary bread.  Not tried it yet, I'll have a slice or 2 today and see how it goes.  Quite a lot of supposed sourdough breads in shops aren't really proper sourdough at all, they're just normal wheat and yeasted loaves that have a bit of sourdough starter added to them, and then get called sourdough, quite wrongly - just because any artisan-type bread commands a higher price.  I should really start making my own sourdough again, but haven't got the time or inclination right now.  And anyway, it would only encourage me to eat more bread if I did.

I've actually got nothing much to do this weekend - well, there's plenty I could be doing, such as starting to pack, but don't feel inclined.  I know it's a waiting game and we'll be offered a property eventually, but at the moment it just feels like we're being knocked back all the time, we've put in loads of bids and none of them have come to anything.  It's so frustrating.  So what to do this weekend?  It's forecast to be quite warm and muggy again (it's already humid), and neither I nor Betty like this sort of weather.  Husband says it's too hot for him to be doing anything outside, so it'll be a weekend of TV or computer games/trawling through endless pages of cars for sale for him.  There's a local sort of country fair on today, a smaller version of a county show with livestock and lots of stalls to browse, but it'll be crowded and hot and I don't really want to be encouraged to spend any money unnecessarily, so we probably won't go.  Our favourite beaches will be busy with families, so that's out.  I don't know, I'll think of something.
