What are you all up to

Back from FM yesterday,after great time with friends (four outfits)good time except when a big rally came on for w/end including cc vice chairman? several including him just let their waste run onto pitches and others then emptied wastes into edge of pitches,hey ho also some thought 5mph was min speed and one way system was for others  

On another subject contacted caravan manufacturer yesterday ref problem with seats, had email reply this morning with direct tel number,after conversation with customer service, new seats on route to us by overnight courier ,result

Well what an upset! Brought in a spare 4pint carton of milk in from the fridge in the garage I managed to drop it from 9inches it promptly split contents all over the place!

You bet I cried over spilt milk!

After a glorious, but cold, day yesterday we are back to horrible wind and rain. And I don't  even know how much rain! The rain gauge on our weather station has gone a bit dolally. Since just before Christmas it has been reporting excessive amounts of rain - up to 20+ inches a day. Googling the problem it may be that damp has got into the reed switch that controls the tipping mechanism. But as it's on top of a pole on top of a steep wet hill, the weather needs to improve considerably so we can get up there with the telehandler. Normally (after transmitting to the console and thence to the computer) it uploads the data to various websites, including our own. But avoid confusion and the building of Arks, I've stopped the upload. 

Getting UK citizenship would cost me £1100 plus, probably gone up since I last looked, and all that would do that I cannot do now is entitle me to vote.    After being here for 47 years, I do not think I would bother now.

Plus, Norway does not generally allow dual nationality, so I would have to hand in my Norwegian passport.

Bus should be in  Glasgow at 22.30, but we have had some hold ups on the M1, and now stuck in traffic in Manchester so looks like we will be at least an hour late in arriving.  DD is picking me up in town and delivering me home as OH does not like driving in the dark.

Rather wet and miserable day, went to check van in storage, all seemed ok. Hopefully we can get away for a few days at the end if February.  

Made a lemon drizzle cake to use up some lemons lurking in the fridge.

Work this afternoon, still quiet, but picking up slowly.Heard from youngest son, he's found another house to rent, hoping this time there are no problems. 

Hope your son finds a place to live soon Helen.

Thanks for your reply KJ hope you don't have any further delays, quite a journey!

I hope Norway aren't looking for reimbursement of their Pension, Kjell.

They will be out of luck then, I've already spent it!

Thanks Brue, he starts his new job in two weeks, so we are keeping everything crossed.

Looking like we will be 90 minutes late arriving, unless the driver puts his foot down further north.  We still have to stop at Lancaster Campus.

Will be late for DD, and she has to be up at 7 tomorrow for work.  I will suggeat that OH braves the dark and meets me at DD's house, which is about halfway between town and our house, save her about 20 minutes.
