Good luck with the new car, Triky! You're probably on your way to the dealer to collect it as I type this!

Sorry, I should have said Motorhome rather than caravan!

Have a nice trip home, Ian.

Congratulations on passing the MOT, HD. That will save you some expense. My car has failed both times in the last two years and each time there's an additional bill to pay to get the problem fixed!

The problem with that, EasyT, is that when the contract ends, the pay stops but unfortunately, the bills keep coming!

I got a phone call yesterday from the repairer. They said that a new skin had to be ordered from Germany for the door and that this would take 4 days. So it looks like we're going to be using the rented car for a while longer.

Sunny but cool in South Cheshire and I've got to go shopping before going to the dentist
!!I've got one of those brilliant, wonderful miracle watches that are accurate to one thousandth of a second over 18million years or something like that !!
Alas it has stopped ! Battery Failure & no handy points to jump start it either
. Modern technology ?? Rubbish 
!Now i've got to find the handbook with the instructions for re-starting it -- double rubbish !!

Tonight it's our Spring Quiz Night for Arthritis Research down in Chew Valley. We passed the £20000 raised over the years last time but I'm not sure how long we'll be able to continue. Sadly the committee lost another member this week. Although increasingly common, Arthritis is not a "fashionable" disease and it seems ever more difficult to attract younger folk (by which I mean under 60!) to support the charity. The Royal Wootton Bassett branch has already folded. So if you have a branch near you and you or a member of your family is affected by Arthritis, please give them your support.

Good luck with the Spring Quiz Night, Chris. My best wishes for a good result!

Good luck with getting your watch fixed, ABM. It wasn't long ago when mine needed a new battery. Luckily, there's a Timpson in the Tesco Extra in Durrington next to the Caravan Club site so I was able to get it done there at a reasonable price.

A glorious sunny day here in south Cumbria.
Made even better by the fact that we're going away! Only for one night (and I'm not sure when we'll get away - too much to do here).
To Darwen (near Blackburn) and a night in a well known budget hotel. But the real treat is the Gig - Chris Difford (the lyricist from Squeeze). We both love his songs, either as solo or as Squeeze. A brilliant way with words.
And another treat - a sleep in! No getting up at 05:00 tomorrow. Thanks to our daughter in law and two grandsons helping out tonight and in the morning.

Have a nice time, Goldie!

I just can't get these cheap flights. Just booked another 4 day trips for next week flying to Mallorca for just over £21 return then Barcelona the following week for an exorbitant £29 return but £8.60 flying out (How can it be so cheap and where does the 60p come from?). Cheap but great Ibis budget hotel to stay in as well for about 15/20 euros per person per night.

Won't know if he did a good job 'til tomorrow
-- It needs a radio signal at 03:00 or thereabouts to give it's electronics the kick start it needs then it should, I did say should, be amenable to ones delicate ministrations. Either that or its getting a short trip to the recycling department
and I'll be back to wearing the old tick-tock watch -- the first thing I ever bought for myself after I started working in 1958 !! Where- o -where have the years gone

Well I left home after my previous post, now I'm back playing 'silly soldiers' on 'ere with the injections wearing off
!!T' dentist found a tiny wee piece of the first tooth so he removed that as he was preparing the ground, so to speak, for the filling
. Filling went OK { Two Of Sand, Two of Cement & a Bucket of aggregate please Nurse !! }Only a "Spring Clean" next week then the Dentistry will be done for 6 -- 7 months, but I've got to face the Doc & Diabetes Clinic Nurses over the next fortnight and Brian is not looking forward to that one iota. I can see a right ************ coming my way !!

It looks a nice deal to me!

It's a lovely sunny afternoon here. We're doing a KFC order at the moment but a nice drive along the sea front to get here.

I take it you mean you are going on a "4 day trip", not on 4 day trips!
The in-laws seem to be fond of these short trips too, they are also retired teachers as it happens, but for the time taken with travel to and from airports, and all the security checks, I think I would be worn out afterwards!
As I understand it, they do not go for longer as they have a dog they need to have looked after. Having asked about our trips, they are now wondering whether a MH would be worth considering so they could take the dog with them.

I know what you mean, KjellNn. Sometimes you have to start the check-in process 2 to 3 hours before the flight. Long haul flights mean having to sit for 8 hours or longer on the plane in a cramped seat!

The only flight we have done in the past 8 years was for a 5 night stay in Oslo in December 2015, when I had to go over there to sign some papers.
We left home just after 10am, and were not at our nephew's house till after 7pm.
Flight was 2 hours, rest of the time was getting to and from the airports, hanging around, and getting through security.
At least we had good weather!

Lovely day here today, not sunny as such but dry and fairly warmish. Made a start on the garden clearing plants and bulbs from the edges of the paths, now have lots of pots sat around the garden giving a temporary home until the new path goes down. Looks like it will not be Monday now, as the chap doing it is behind with his other jobs, due to the bad weather they have had while we've been away. OH not to happy about it but it will at least give us more time to get things prepared without knocking our pan out. OH has a meeting tomorrow anyway for his 'Men's Sheds' they are looking at getting some funding and have to 'pitch' their bid along with other groups looking for funding, so I will be gardening on my own tomorrow for about 4 hours
washing to do and at some stage I will have to go food shopping. By the time I get through that lot I'll need another holiday still only 5 weeks then we should be away in the motorhome.0 -
Might be better to just take the caravan on a ferry across there!

Can't complain at those prices, I take it you are finding these bargains online and they fly from Newcastle? I'm always a bit of a whimp when it comes to these offers, I just can't believe that they are going to be ok
maybe one day I'll give it a go.0 -
Having finished our KFC delivery to Lancing, we have now returned to Worthing and parked by Broadwater Green. The sun is setting as I type this. Lovely sunset!

Another order come through, Macdonalds this time. It's now 6 p.m. so parking allowed in Chapel Road, awaiting collection there. A town centre delivery this time so shouldn't take long to do. We're due an early 7 p.m. finish today.

I think it's something to do with needing to fill seats during off season periods when fewer people are interested to travel to holiday destinations.
