What are you all up to today? - part 3

Just knackered meself by driving nonstop for 4 hrs. Massive traffic jam around Oxford on the A40. Took 30 mins to do 1/2 mile. Still, great to be onsite and relaxing, red wine flowing, fish and chips off the van in site entrance. Roll on tomorrow!

I feel for you redface,  Oxford is terrible at the moment,  lots of road works,  hope you have a great holiday from now. ..

Which site are you on?

Thursday 08.38 we were at Guide Hall to meet contractors, everything seems to be going OK so far.

One toilet pan apparently cracked when they removed it, so we will need 1 new one.

We have 3 cubicles and a good set up, but the walls had not been finished when the original work was done.

So now, instead of tiling, we are having the walls done with "showerwall" or something, certainly easier to keep clean than tiling.

Everything seems to be going OK so far.

Contractors, who we have used several times before, are more like friends, we have recommended them to several people.

They have offered to lay the floor, so I will just go down and "supervise" !!

Been out today and got a few things we need.

Otherwise we have been to DD's house and fetched back her pots/containers to look after.

We already have her 3 budgies back here.

Found myself up too early this morning so went to Tescos first thing. Great. Got home and put everything away. Checked my prescription, which unusually for me I got from Tescos, and found they had short changed me by 20 tablets so back to Tescos. The assistant decided after much deliberation that it was probably better not to call me a liar so finally gave me the 20 tablets. Half way through the morning found out that I had forgotten the ground almonds! Back to Tescos! Ugly morning. Good news though is that I'm now on first name terms with staff.

Just had to have my caravaning cat of 16yrs put to sleep today severe arthritis in her back and rear legs, injections no lovely working,  Dog walking around wondering why she is not been attacked However cant see them suffer. I guess the only option is to look for another companion for my dog so i guess that will be two dogs next time i go out with the van. Life goes on as they say, But she will be missed.

So very sorry to hear this jeffcc. Such a very difficult decision to make but the right one I am sure. I hope you find a lovely companion for you all soon.

Beautiful morning, sun shining for a change   got a few garden jobs to do before heading to MK to meet up with the boys. Cake is ready to take, to keep them happy.

Millie: hope you are having a lovely time in Yorkshire.

Woken to a glorious early summer morning about time.  Once we've got sorted I think were off to classic motor show at Maldon. Lovely location but not usually our thing suggested by a friend, and its free - so long as I'm not tempted by stalls, its about all we can afford at present .  Two trips to NZ in months and handing in my notice . 

Millie I hope you're having a great time?

HelenandTrevor enjoy your visit. 

Thank you Helen and Bakers. We are having a lovely time despite weather being a bit 'mixed'! Son, DIL and 2 grandchildren arrived from N. Ireland to join us yesterday so a great evening was had by all.

Sunny morning here too! I can see a few clouds gathering though, at the moment as I type this. We've had breakfast and I'm now sitting out in the awning with a cup of tea. Our pitch has a tree next to the awning which provides some shade from the sun.

We have 14 more days here before we'll be off on our next 2 day tent camping trip.
