What are you all up to

Finally finished cleaning the anaglypta and plaster skim off the bathroom ceiling. It's actually a reasonable artex finish underneath, so after a bit of remedial work in a couple of places, it should be good for a couple of coats of vynil silk emulsion. Glad the cleaning off is finished though. It really makes your arms ache working overhead.

What a wet miserable day in North Norfolk it has not stopped raining and still is since the early hours it is now 1700 ,one upside have been able to just wipe the muck off the car and caravan and the rain has rinsed it ,they both now look very clean
And you have heard it here first
I have been in comunication with the club in respect of what is for some a very vocal subject (Dogs and other pets on sites)and have been "advised" that the booking system is being looked at and that it is hoped will be as part of the latest booking system a question regarding pets in your party,

Interesting review of the two forms of LV. We changed from a caravan because it was becoming stressful getting in and out of our back garden and hitched up because of parked cars constantly making it difficult. In fact Margaret used to get so wound up about it that I sometimes wondered how we ever got away. Such a different situation with the motorhome which we can just drive out of the garden and park somewhere. I can't see us ever going back to a caravan. However we are seriously thinking of downsizing to something like a PVC which I think would give us the opportunity to get out and about. All I know is without a car we get a lot more exercise that we would with one!

Light rain showers first thing in Wiltshire but they'd passed through by 9:00 then the sun came out, but it was still cool. Saw 2 more Kingfishers on my walks along the canal before we left our site. Moved on up to Cheltenham in fine weather and now a clear sky and a forecast for overnight temperatures below freezing again.

Goldie, don't know if you've seen these guys perform, but I do like this version of "A Place called England".

We have however just bought a little classic 25 year old camper which is a short wheelbase we intend to use it for days out as it is car sized so easy to park.
Francis, we met quite a few of the small campers pulling caravans when we were last away, having spoken to a number of them the majority said they just use the camper at home for day trips (some where fishermen) seems to give the best of both worlds. Hope you have fun with it.
However we are seriously thinking of downsizing to something like a PVC which I think would give us the opportunity to get out and about. All I know is without a car we get a lot more exercise that we would with one!
David, at one time we wouldn't have though about a PVC but we are gradually coming round to them. It would be so much easier to go around Scotland and do the islands but also give us the comfort for travelling around Europe out of season. Neither of us wants to go back to a Coachbuild. However we are both enjoying having a ' nice' car again and the caravan has not be a problem. Exercise is something we get loads of with or without a car
and hope that it will last for a long time to come.JVB66, as long as you are managing and enjoying your time away that's the important thing, from your posts you certainly get away often, even in rubbish weather

Had a strange experience with my smart phone today. I was using the compass app but put the phone down and thought nothing of it. When I picked it up about an hour later it was exceptional hot. I think because it was an app that was constantly working it had over heated the phone. Hopefully it would have run out of charge before any serious damage occurred!!!

They do get warm at times! I left mine on a ledge in MH while I was sat outside in sunshine. Sun had come round and was shining directly onto it, was very hot to touch!

My phone has got very hot a couple of times, I have it in a wallet case and could feel it through that 😲. No apps open but maybe running the background. I took the battery out. It's been fine since. I can see why the planes are so conscious of them falling between seats etc 😲😲

Went to local Odeon last night for NT live, Alan Bennett's Alleujah. Notice on the screen door, no heat boiler broken if you wish to leave in first 20 minutes full refund. Not ideal as it's a one off but an acknowledgement and redress on offer. Could have booked at the 'new' Everyman but couple of quid more and further to walk, so had the 'posh' seats. Mistake they were really upright and uncomfortable, didn't help OH's dodgy back. Thought the sound quality wasn't good in first half but I think it's that cinema don't often go as far too loud! Certainly wasn't the case last night 😲
That aside BRILLIANT, very thought provoking and typical Alan Bennett. 170 mins including the interval, never looked at the time in either half.
Glad of the walk home, in the dry but cold air, it rained as we walked down. Didn't remove our coats and my dressy scarf was draped over my legs, brrr.
After almost 24 hours non stop rain, not heavy but shower and damp in between we have awoken to a frost and beautiful sun 🌞. Son and grand dog arrive later, dog staying as DIL2B off to Canada on Royal Commission for Agriculture next generation. She's apprehensive - first trip on her own, son around til Sunday, found myself typing bring your washing if you want 😂😂😂😂😲😲😲.
Milliehull hope all goes well for your OH.
Wherenext, some years are the pits- sorry you're having one this year.
Best to all of you, read so many posts I can't remember who/what/where 😉 I'll have to make notes 😂. Enjoy your day folks ☀️

Been thinking about this bit of my post
She's apprehensive - first trip on her own, son around til Sunday, found myself typing bring your washing if you want 😂😂😂😂😲😲😲.
I must add he's chief cook, bottle washer, laundry king and tidier (not that you'd always be able to tell on the latter, better now they have a cleaner 😉). So it wasn't that he wouldn't cope - I trained both my children well as their dad had been 👍. All jobs are shared. Only exceptions, at present, is toilet cassette emptying in the motorhome. Too heavy to carry for me, but I have a plan incase I do have to do it 😂😂.
Wish SIL had had the same training 😤

Our DIL has to travel B2, she enjoys it but gets fed up with hotel rooms in distant places, hope it all works out for yours. That leaves our son running the "shop" at home quite often, but he's enjoyed a bit of break over the last few months here with us.
Liked the link OP gave for Nellie's post.
Lovely sunshine here, final packing for son and grandson about to happen, a very empty house later but then we're off soon so it will be my turn to pack.

Oh brue you long for the time the house will be your own again, but the reality takes quite a bit of getting used to as everywhere remains as you left it and the silence 😉. Good you have a trip to look forward to. Be lovely for their family to be back together again. Is the house theirs now?
Our DIL2B farms so when the weather's right the hours go in 😂. Son gets to do his bit at busy times as well as his job and house duties. It's usually our son who leaves her home alone. She was apprehensive as has never travelled abroad alone, but great honour and real feather in her cap to be chosen to represent the next generation.
I loved the live link, so much so I looked up their tour, 3 we could make but no ticket info yet 😲 so I've signed up for email updates.

Lovely surprise son and grand dog arrived 2pm, we thought about 3.30pm. Took dog to work so didn't have to return home, opposite direction. Able to have a lovely walk in the sun at the local estate 😁😁. Much warmer than I thought so had to stick to the shade as overdressed 🤣🤣. Son said how late did you send text this morning? About 0815 says I. Already at work so didn't bring washing phew! Didn't know he wasn't going home after.

I think the difference is that background apps are designed to run on very little power but a main app is very power hungry which causes the heat build up. Interesting that the battery power had dropped quite considerably in quite a short time.

Collected grandaughter from school this afternoon, huge bag of dirty washing. She's only been back 2 weeks and its only personal stuff as all school clothes get done by matron.
Quick tea at the Colonel's then on to a bonfire and fireworks do. Another on tomorrow but heavy rain forecast so thought tonight would be better and we were not disappointed.
What to do tomorrow with a bored 12 year old in poring rain.0
