Hi Dot, no caravan last weekend. Gosford is only about 40 minutes away from home, so we slept at home...much cheaper esp in school holidays. Do you have a lovely person teed up to water the new plants once you escape? That daphne will take all the care that you can manage...temperamental little things they are. xxxx
As today is the first real business day since Christmas, I have been very busy on the phone for much of the day.
Best and first call of the day was to safe work to report a very dangerous electrical box in a caravan park. As soon as I told the inspector that the electrician commented that the box is not up to code, I felt the inspector's ears prick up. I feel sorry for anyone who has booked into that site after us, because we now know how dangerous it it really is and once the inspector's team go through the park there may be some uncomfortable times for the management. The electrical box is just sitting two feet from the roadway with no gutters, protection or bollards at all. It has 2 screws "holding " the box into the sandy soil. Any kid could easily lift the lid and be right into the wires in a flash. There will be a team of inspectors visiting the park any day now. I hope they give better than the management at the park gave to us. I have some friends living in the old farts village, across the road from the park and they have friends who are in the residential part of the caravan park. I hope to get some updates from my spies
They management may have chosen the wrong person to cross...they are now the ones in peril.
Next was to resend the email to Hampshire holiday parks to make sure that if any management have returned from holidays, they will read the story of their management gone mad. I will continue to fill their inboxes until I get a reply.
Our son noticed that we don't have the right Anderson plug from the van fridge to the patrol. He didn't have the tools with him but our lovely van man will come and sort that out. He is also an auto sparky, so he will fit a dash camera to my rav 4, seeing as it's now getting driven a lot more locally.
He has the unenviable task of teaching us how to use the thing properly and to update the camera software in the patrol as well. He will come out next week and have us all sorted.
A couple of doctor things have now got their appointments and we will be set for next few weeks with things to get sorted... such fun getting older and giving extra champagne money to specialists
More of these getting things sorted phone calls tomorrow and we will back up and running towards whatever normal might actually be for us.
Night to all of you xxx
Dropped some bits off at the closed op chop then went another km down the road and the local Cherry man was there $15kg and they are (were) beautiful and all gone. The light lady even delivered them to us when she finished work (Free Then to the big green shed, Bought another misting fan for the birds as their other one conked out, 2 Anzac Grevilleas, another effort with a Daphne and an un named $2 plant, a new fancy sprinkler and a tap timer and some grape cover bags, Looks like we may get some grapes this year. Also scored a dozen or so used plant pots for 0 . Then off to Woolies for some food stuff and Brian's roo has gone from $10 to 
$14 kg. I was being a very good girl on the roads and doing the speed limits all the way when going around a round about I noticed the 3rd car behind us was a copper in an mufti car, someone was watching out for me.Weather heating up now. Hope everyone on the sick list are getting better. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Noggins x 
Yesterday (Sat) was non active for me but G managed to pick up heaps of leafs and twigs I had raked up. Brian went outside for his business and notified G to the ginger cat sitting under the bus. 
The sprayed weeds are drooping nicely so that new spray has worked. I wonder how Deborah is doing in sales this weekend? Going to plant those 2 Anzac shrubs tomorrow they should look great for Anzac or Aust day, they have big red flowers for the blood symbol. Got more grape bags hoping that will save them from the birds. Going to do a couple of loads of washing then I might hit the sack So goodnight everyone x
