Posted on 27/01/2017 12:48 by KjellNNVery suny here meantime, but cold. Off out to see if the old towing mirrors will fit the new car.

Posted on 27/01/2017 13:36 by WherenextApologies for not including you in the toothless wonders list, Kjell. Hope things are more or less back to normal.
Any regrets about the new car?

Thanks WN, recovery was very quick, stopped hurting within a few hours and was all healed up in a couple of days.
New car seems excellent so far, still trying to work out how to use all the gadgets. Really need to sit in it with the handbook for a few hours and go through everything, but it's far too cold at the moment.
You feel the speed in it less than in the Volvo, so I will need to keep a close eye on that! Acceleration is very good and I like the auto hold on the brakes.
Towbar fitting went well ( at Indespension) and the final appearance is very neat, hardly visible at all. Only downside of that is that it is a bit more difficult to connect electrics and breakaway cable.
The Volvo towing mirrors fit very well, so that was a bonus. We are more or less all sorted for our first trip now.

Today started off VERY frost. It took ages to defrost the cars. It is now raining. Mr H had his follow up appt after his cataract op this afternoon. All good. Left eye to be operated on 7th March. Hopefully we will be able to get away with caravan shortly after that.

Glad to hear all well with Mr H. When my Mum had hers done she said she felt 10 years younger, she had much more confidence going out.
Very cold last night but no frost this morning, good drive to the CL at lunchtime, all sorted then lunch and off to see the Gkids, they didn't know we were coming so big hugs and smiles all round. Had lovely meal courtesy of DIL.

Great news milliehull hopefully all sorted before the real spring starts allowing plenty of trips.
Very cold start here again I was surprised on the thickness of ice on the bird water again. We still have 5 circles slowly defrosting so shows how cold it's been.
Son's plane landed according to flight info. 1.15 hours late going up apparently and similar landing. I haven't heard from him, despite welcome home message 😉. Anyone would think it's a long trip LOL. Took off 0120 12 hr flight 3 hr stopover plus delay 12 hr flight and it's still only 1900. I believe they'll be planning a wedding 😃.
