It's July tomorrow... then there'll only be 19 days till we set off and I get to emigrate to Mongolia. I can't wait for some better weather - it does nothing but rain here. I booked myself in for a Spa this weekend - a great way to recharge your battery, literally, and I'm getting some new bits and bobs fitted - fuses, points, fuel hoses. I'll be like a new car by the time I'm done.

Still not quite there on the Visa front but am hoping to get the Mongolian visa back today. Russia still haven't sent through their official invitation for me to visit so not sure what to do if that doesn't come through pretty quick. Still haven't mastered enough Kazakh to be able to fill in the form for the Kazakhstan visa but I should have that sorted by tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
