Best Of

You’ve debated this issue for a few years now, even considering a MH needing a C class licence at one stage. What I would do is let the offspring buy their own outfit and either retain the existing van for myself if I was happy with it or swap it for a used smallish 2 berth. From what I read of new caravans, you’ll probably outlast a new one.

Best day of the year so far here, really sunny and warm in the sun. Yesterday was pretty wet, so glad of a nice day to finish getting the caravan ready for its service.

We have a new “housemate”……..Gunnar the robot vacuum cleaner. It is a long story as to why he is Gunnar, all to do with Norway and robot grass clippers!

He has been busy in the kitchen, the bathrooms, the hall and now the sun room, which all have either tiles or short pile carpet tiles, and has had a go at our lounge carpet, which was a bit more work as longer pile.

Special Lidl Plus offer, plus DD had an extra 10% off, so very reasonably priced. Quite entertaining to watch him wandering around.

Never mind the £60 to have it done @DEBSC. You can afford 2 bottles of Olive Oil??? Blimey.🤣

I remember visiting it about 20 years ago @Takethedogalong. A very impressive Gothic style church with a fascinating history. Very taken with the Sanctuary Chair (by the altar). We might well be in the area this Spring. If so we'll pay it a second visit.

Just back from Wrexham as I had to have an urgent blood test and the Renal Unit has a walk-in facility. Fortunately the unit is away from the main hospital so parking went well and straight in and out. Couldn't get a local booking for love nor money.

Supposed to rain most of the day but we've only seen the odd 5 minute spell. OH was able to take MiL for a walk this morning (she refused to chase a ball though).😁Did her good (MiL) to get out and about again.

A sunny, mostly, day here in the Tropic of Wales. Well, it was warmish. After sorting MiL out, not as severe as it sounds, we visited @nelliethehooker and his long suffering OH on their CL just outside Denbigh. Interesting seeing Gliders coming and going on the airfield part of the site. Had a couple of walks and a good long catch up with them, not having seen them for quite some time. A very pleasant way to spend the day.

Appointment with the Gas engineer early tomorrow morning for boiler service. MiL then out to lunch with her friends so we may take the van with no name for a spin and make sure all is in working order as we are away for a few days early next week, fingers crossed.

If you are not careful @milliehull these anniversary celebrations may make it through to your 61st.😂 I love the way you manage to elongate your celebratory days into not just weeks but sometimes months. Brilliant.

@Wherenext .... my problem is with left and right... it takes me a little while to think it through.....they say that's a dyslexic problem too... although I guess very mild. If I'm driving and Carol is directing me, she has to use 'your way' or 'my way'.... Then the problem comes when she's driving and I'm directing her. Because I usually drive, I have been known to say 'my way' (meaning right), when actually it should be 'your way', because it's her that's driving...... 🤣🤣🤣 ....if you can actually follow what I've just written.
