Hi Meg


yep, still understand them, though we are officially metric.


The US isn't though, which can create interesting problems.


so, not too big.


Have you seen some of the monsters that are found over here?

In fact, many of them are "the" house ........ the owners just drive north and then south with the seasons! They cost as much as a house as well!

We have two cereal bowls which were given away with, I think, cornflakes over 30 yrs ago. They are white opaline (pyrex) and are in use every day. When we have porridge it is heated in the microwave in these.

So, I want some stuff to use in the microwave other than glass. Surely there must be some stuff out there, like pseudo plastic.

Oh never mind. We will be nipping over to Canada (well perhaps not quite "nipping", I gather its a bit more difficult) and Sylvia and Janey can feed us.

I'll just get my lear jet ready :)))

Wot's a lear jet?

It's me who needs a chef - can't cook at all.

You might find some Seals in Canada. Maybe rustle up a few dinners with them.

Exciting stuff tomorrow - off to caravan place to buy stuff like toilet fluid. New caravan has NO cupboards to facilitate breaking ones own nose. Nine drawers. NINE. EIGHT more than previous van.

Bliss!

Ie most people have a car, (LOL SOME people might have a Caravan, attached.......LOL)

Are Robert and Bobtanian the same person? I don't think so.

Did I not post that I miscounted. New Caravan has only 8 drawers, not 9. I am therefore rejecting it an unfit for purpose. And no magazine rack as advertised. Great disappointment. Will be suing the company.

And the fella called Jet.

Anyway, bought a new water container on wheels and a new waste container on wheels. Everybody else has had them for years, so new for us. Well, we were the last people on earth to get a colour telly.

BTW


you definitely should sue that company

...... how could they say there were 9 drawers and give you only 8


and how will you manage without the promised magazine rack


good for a £1 million settlement I would think
