Afternoon.
Back from shopping which seemed to take ages as a lot more stuff to buy.... starting to buy food for the summer. Bought 4 more camping gas cans to make sure we have enough for topping up the bottles.

Chuckle.

We met a couple a few years ago who never ever cook in their motorhome, always eat at a restaurant. You do see a lot of takeaway deliveries to Motorhomes though.
Most of our gas powers the fridge, next hot water for showers and I have to take camping gas cans with me to top up the 7Kg bottles as they are only enough for 7 weeks and we are away 8.

That is annoying but you have to have it for cooking I guess, of course some people would use it as an excuse to have takeaways every night, so I hear like

Went and got calor gas refilled bottle this morning... gone up in price again. was 49 last week, £56 this week. I buy a 15Kg and refill my 7 Kg bottles as works out much cheaper. Buying 7 Kg refills you are cheaper to go to Home Bargains and buy camping stove gas cans and refilling your calor bottle.

What is annoying is it just went up this week in price.

Morning

I do love a new car and happy wife but both will be just memories, hopefully it gives you moles of reliability and being a Toyota I’m sure I will

Picked up the new Toyota to day after a traumatic Monday the day we should have picked it up. But one of the old cars to be exchanged would not start. Long story. AA man spent 1.5 hours finding two dudes fuses but still no lights windows and indicators not working although you could start and drive. He recommended take it to your local garage. Brilliantly they pulled stops out and found a 80 amp blown. Thus got it going today so exchange was just one day out. Deep joy and happy wife with new car.

It's worth getting the seals as not costly and could save the pistons

I said to A where do you fancy going for a holiday and she said shoveoff, I could not find it on the map but think it's in Dorset somewhere

Not away until mid June, but takes time to get everything planned and ready and time soon flies past.
I could do a swap with Nicola for my motorhome.

I say need the dust seals, more a case of want to make sure they do not fail before next brake service and then have to replace corroded pistons.

[2gekko] 30/4/2024 11:38

Can't you borrow that motorhome fron Nichola Sturgeon. Lol

Doesn't time fly, almost May si I expect you are orf in a few weeks time

[jonjonck] 30/4/2024 09:27

We have 10 degrees so not all bad.
Finally got round to placing an order for new brake calliper seals. Just need the piston dust covers.

[2gekko] 30/4/2024 08:56

The sun is actually shining here today and 12 degrees which is a pleasant change to the recent weather

[jonjonck] 30/4/2024 08:47

I shall give you a mark 6 for the pun.


Good Morning. Still raining a bit this morning.

Morning

So many good ideas to sort out the black and burnt pans that for now I shall leave them on the back burner

[jonjonck] 30/4/2024 00:16

No doubt 2G will pan the job out over a few weeks. But expect he will get a handle on the task soon. Now I will put a lid on making up puns before you lot put me in hot water.

[jonjonck] 30/4/2024 00:14

..do not forget the elbow grease!

[gateside] 29/4/2024 23:01

Some thick bleach to cover the bottom, then add boiling water.Make sure it's rinsed well afterwards

[jonjonck] 29/4/2024 22:29

Caustic soda works wonders on burnt on fat.

[2gekko] 29/4/2024 20:19

She was a good wife to be fair and I should have tried harder

I don't suppose you know anyone that restores blackened saucepans?

[jonjonck] 29/4/2024 17:57

Woman will go to any length to deceive, they can be very convincing. Burning all your pots is OTT and a sure sign she scammed you.
