I did lots of gardening and have a very happy wife. I am bagging these bonus points for when I need to work on the bus.
 
Camping over the weekend didn't go to plan.. was meant to be me and Mrs Chunky in our Ellie, then daughter, partner and their son was to follow later on as son in law had to work Friday morning.. we decided to take Grandson along with us... got to campsite and got all set up.. happy daze... then came the call that son in law car has overheated and they were stuck in Rownhams service station.. radiator hose has split.. breakdown people say they won't come out as they got towed a few weeks back for a different breakdown!!! But they will come out and recover them to home for a fee... they don't have a pot to piss in so I said I will lend them the money to get home... £167.00 light in my account now🤬🤬 then had to leave campsite a day early as Grandson was missing mummy and daddy!!!! NEVER AGAIN

Oh the joys of family
 
A weekend without the OC forum allowed me to collect my Dad's old shed, re-build it and put on a new roof as well as laying a new floor down.
I also spent time on Ebay buying a trailer chassis.
Time well spent

So today we took a trip to Skeggy to stay until Friday at a very well known site, had booked a van with veranda and gate so dog and toddler will be safe, get there and no gate
We don’t have gates on this van they said even though our booking confirmed a gated veranda and we are full, but to your welcome to stay in this van or we can give a partial refund
Won’t tell you what I said but we are getting a full refund, booked with another site last minute ( very lucky) and will be giving a “ review” once refund is paid
TOSSERS——————I drove through two hours of thunder and lightning for this———mind you , the bus drove great

Well I haven't posted much over the winter. I find the dark winter months a struggle to be honest, my mental health tends to go downhill and I become somewhat withdrawn. Living alone and having no family contact doesn't help (although when I read stories like the ones above I should be grateful 😁). I spend most of the time just trying to hang on until spring when I convince myself things will get better. I've also had back problems and covid (again FFS) over the last few weeks to add to my generally fucked-off demeanor 😬. I note no-one missed me 😂😂

However, in good news, the Kami Van passed her MOT without a hitch a couple of weeks ago, spring has arrived and it's even been sunny the last couple of days ☀️☀️ (wrote this on Sunday but couldn't post as forum down) as it's been sunny today and I'm feeling a little better I took the van out for a drive, lunch and a cup of tea in the back and a little stroll in the sunshine by the river at Abingdon, which has lifted my mood considerably. I'm looking forward to getting out and about in the van over the rest of the year which to be honest has been a lifesaver for me. Sorry for the long post, hope you don't mind me sharing.

Cheers mate. I think I did actually post the MOT news a couple of weeks ago as it was the first glimmer of good news in months! Nice to be planning some trips out in her again 😊

That pigeon has got something tangled around it’s neck.

It probably asked Mikkb if he was driving a Bongo or VW... It's lucky it didn't ask Bob or that slice of toast would barely be visible and the pigeon wouldn't be sitting comfortably...
