Almost a quiet day's May 22 and 23

With the Caravan in place and everything connected and the awning up we have very little to do except play with some electronics. The site Wi-Fi is quite good if you are close by but if not, as we are this time, there is a half a chance that it will not work most of the time. Noel had purchased a Signal enhancer which had to be set up which took not long but although we expected that we would be to far from the the main Wi-Fi aerial it worked quite well and so we packed ourselves on the back. Other people staying nearby will also find that they can use this link as well although we wont publish it.
Then on to the setting up of the TV satellite system so that we can watch UK programs. In the past years it has worked much better than expected in setting up but after getting everything in place we got lots of German TV and no BBC or UK programmes. So we got in touch with the supplier who came back quite quickly with a reply and all it needed was q little tweak of the satellite dish about three inches to the left and bingo up popped the BBC programmes although Channel 5 and ITV were still missing and then back to the supplier who informed us of what to do next and so later today we will try again.
We had a quiet afternoon after that and decided to eat up the leftovers of the previous day BBQ rather than waste money and chuck them away and so we tested a bottle of Chablis which went down well but now the BBQ is in need of a good clean but that can wait until we have purchased some extra cleaning stuff and an apron for Noel as we forgot to bring one of our many aprons that we have bought over the years for the same reason.
In the evening Noel caught up on some blogging and emails and then we were both quite tired and ready for an early night.
