As reported in the last Blog we planned a trip to Highbridge near Burnham on see to a caravan dealer to look at other awning flooring but frankly after about 15 minutes it became clear that the good stuff from Isabella was really expensive whilst we already had some of the cheaper stuff and so we left after buying loo chemicals, so not exiting visit. From there we went to Burnham on sea which was quite crowded and we had intended to visit a little beachside café for a snack but it looked crowded with long queues and with little car parking space we agreed that this was a waste of time and so went shopping in Wellington Waitrose then home for a fish dinner. The fish counter in this shop is the best we have seen of all supermarkets either in Weybridge or near us now.
Last week prior to visiting the West Byfleet new house we visited Lexus in Exeter to have a Wifi Hot spot fitted similar to that in the Land Cruiser, or previous vehicle, this was due to take an hour and bit but took three hours and since then it has not worked. After lots of phone calls and email complaints it now appears that instead of fitting the requested unit where I have to supply my own SIM card they fitted a brand new system to Lexus, the trouble is it doesn't work yet. Apparently Lexus are introducing this new system on all new cars in the UK starting soon but as those cars were not in the UK they have not finished the set up and so here I am holding the baby having paid lots of dough for a superior system which does not work and they are unable to also advise what the running costs are as it is not set up yet. This is rather annoying but lets see what happens.
On Wednesday we had lunch with our daughter and grandchildren and then Thursday paid a visit to a bed retailer and eventually ordered some new mattresses for the caravan as the existing ones are quite old , nearly 9 years, and we both seem to be waking with back problems. They are of course not standard size and have to be made to measure which always puts the cost up but now we are waiting to find out what the delivery time will be.
We have pretty much got really organised know with the van having a been completely sanitised from end to end and so know we can relax a little more knowing there is not much to do except the odd day out and shopping.
The caravan site is quite busy as you would expect after everybody being locked up for so long but when speaking to my brother in law about visiting Salcombe he said it is a nightmare there at the moment with so much traffic chaos and although we were panning a visit as in the previous week both of us had attended either a dentist or other crowded places we decided it would be wise to stay away rather than risk either catching or passing on Covid to the family.
Just seen the news about the three travellers who were charged with manslaughter rather than murder after dragging a policeman to his death. a disgusting decision!! what has happened to real Law and Order.
I am also a bit pissed off with the BLM protest, its rubbish as proven by the fact there are so many black people who have been successful either in sport or other professions it just goes to show what you can do if you work hard. And as for the BLM movement in America I understand there is a movement to try and close down the Democratic party as they had actively encouraged Black slavery for many years, although they have tried to deny this, and with the intention of closing down the Dem party, sounds good to me.
Oh well its fish for dinner tonight and some TV..
