Nearly there

Another nice morning with the sun shining down although overnight it was little cool, but not cold in any way.
Today is our packing day and so after the usual breakfast and washing up etc, Jennifer did some washing and Noel after cleaning one of the bathrooms started packing his case and of course after using loads of pills etc there is now more room in the case so should be no problem for when go home. With our plan to meet friends we are all now ending up in Santa Rosa beach for three nights for Brian and Sheila and four nights for us and so it should be a good time for chats.
We decided that when heading to Tallahassee it would be a good idea to do some last minute shopping at the Costco Branch there and I mentioned it to both other couples and so now we have a shopping list which is quite large and will probably take us a couple of hours to complete, but we don't mind. So by mid afternoon both cases were packed evening the overnight ones were nearly there and so all we have to do is add the jammies and washing gear and away we go and hopefully it should be a quiet day with a mid afternoon BBQ of Pork Loin Chops and then leave the Barbie to cool down and then give it its final clean. I am not sure if this is usual in the USA but it seems that people really don't clean Barbie’s except by scraping a rather crumby looking brush up and down the grill which can only add germs and not take them away. So when we first got here Noel spent about half an hour cleaning up all the bits that he could but some of it in the depths was to bad to even attempt but as those bits don't come in to contact with  food we had to leave it. Our UK BBQ outfits are always spotlessly clean and always following a party or whatsoever  the first thing we do is clean up..
Dinner tonight was a chicken stir fry with rice and then we finished the UK Detective series which attempted to prove a lot but actually seems to have achieved nothing. Whilst flicking through the Netflix lists we came across a film about the ‘Rolling Stones’ South America visit in 2016 and so we watched that for a while and it is very good and the director a Mr Paul Dugdale has made a number of films about pop groups including Coldplay and many others and is a very talented English guy who has won quite a few awards.
Oh well last full day tomorrow with final clearing up and possible start packing the car.
