What are you all up to

Been positively tropical here today (well, 13 degrees!).  After I came back from the dog walk on our now somewhat less pebbly beach, I got stuck in and got the pressure washer out and blasted both cars. It's no doubt due to the amount of rain we've had, but despite the front drive being south facing, the sides of both cars which are usually in the shade had started to grow little gardens of moss around the window seals.  They were looking a bit sad but after an hour's work, look much better now.  I suppose tomorrow, I'll have to bring myself to cleaning the inside of mine which hasn't been touched for months and might be the reason why there's less sand on Hornsea beach, than usual.

Weather has been quite settled today, here, Millie....  in fact for February it's been quite warm.  Just been out to the shops and to get deisel for the car - prices are up and down all the while at the moment....  Popped in to take a few things back to the caravan.  Glad you like the Pinch-of-Nom recipes....

Hope they can sort something out for your MIL's sight, Wherenext.

I think he last posted in January last year. He was such a prolific poster we are bound to notice that he no longer posts. I don't know if JK has some inside information but just hope nothing has befallen either himself or his partner.

David

 No inside info. DK except I knew the staff at Ferry Meadows when he last went there (can't comment further). He was well respected with majority of site staff. It would be good to know how they are fairing though.

JK

I would like to think that someone could give him our very best wishes and to let him know that we all miss him.

JK

I knew he was getting a bit miffed with the new system and prices but his MO would be to discuss that, to put it mildly, rather than keep quiet He was a prolific user of Club sites up to that point and as he often mentioned Ferry Meadows was his second home! From his posts it was clear his other half was having difficulties in the van and with mobility so who knows, perhaps I shouldn't speculate but curiosity is difficult to dull! 

He was one of several long time posters who seemed to have disappeared in the last year, I guess we will never know.

Like you new profile photo, Millie!  I think most of us are sick and tired of the rain, I know we are. It has hardly stopped for well over 3 months now, well at least at the places we have visited. We did manage a couple of dry walks, before and after lunch, but we had more rain again mid afternoon.

Beautiful day here yesterday had a great time out on my bike, OH took herself off shopping, she has an automatic car so gets around locally quite easily, and she is a Sterling Moss with the shopping trolley. Looks like being a great day Solar panels already clocking up 1kw

p.s. a couple of Italian naval vessels in the Solent, nice to see some countries still have a Navy

Think we might be fairing a little bit dryer at the moment over here, and it was very warm here yesterday. Probably got more to come though. Plenty of crocus, hellebore and even a few daffodils out here. Garden is starting to wake up. Have been wondering how my Banana will have done, first year outside, well wrapped up, and likely to stay that way until late May I am guessing. 

You can go off some people Rufus......

That said we have some blue patches and sky today, which is a fabulous change. Its been grey, dull, wet and uninspiring here. But garden is coming to life thankfully.

It's been grey, dull wet and uninspiring here for what feels like months. 5 inches of rain since 8 January.

Feeling lousy, achy, temperature and energyless. Not covid thankfully. Poor Dora 4 days without a proper walk. OH manages his round the block once a day with her. She's just come in and spent a while circling and checking best spot to be in the full sun streaming in from window! 

My brother has been in hospital, thankfully home now, bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy 😱. Felt off Thursday afternoon 24 hours later A&E - admitted Friday, bed on a ward Monday, home Tuesday! Not seen him so not infected each other.....

Got to restart looking for bathroom and cloakroom refits, big sigh, as our plumber unable to do bathrooms after very bad wrist break, needed plating - now found elbow damage. Last August a week before he was due to start. Could have been worse it might have been as he started 😱. Really feel for him, great worker, own business and young family..... Luckily he should be able to continue boiler servicing and heating, 🤞we don't need heating work, as he has an apprentice and one now qualified, even when he did our boiler September 2022, to help him.

Good to read others news. Get well wishes to the poorly, strength to their carers and visitors.

I miss JVB posts too. 

Edit

The sun's gone in again, dog moved back to her bed 🤣
