I (Steve) am going to bring my Double 9 dominos set - given that there won't be a huge number of us around at any one time it seems the right sized set. Nick: There is a double 18 set on the boat - yes, it would need cutting down, but...

Shopping

I'm also doing the first food shop to bring up with us on Friday night and will have a cool box. Please add items here:

• Milk
• Pate
• Cold meats
• Cheese
• Pork pie
• Butter-like spread (N prefers the real stuff)
• Bread
• Rice
• Onions
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Spuds
• Salady-veg: peppers, toms, spring onions, whatever looks good
• Eggs
• Bacon (dry cured)
• Sausages (reasonable brand)
• Not 3-years-out-of-date Branston pickle
• Branston fruity sauce

We have:

• Tinned toms
• Pasta
• Beans
• Oil
• Tom ketchup

Message for Nick - we need to take some new stocks of herbs... meant to bring the jars back. Do we pick up some cheap packages of mixed herbs, garlic etc in the initial food shop?

• I have a new mixed herbs and an "Italian Seasoning" which I'll take before putting into use at home.
