Diary Entry – 03rd May 2024

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!!

Welcome to todays diary entry! Even another day of rain cannot dampen my spirits today because tomorrow is Solar Panel day and i am proper proper excited once again a massive shout out to the guys at A and E Leisure for squeezing me in. Although we spend most time on hook up but it just gives us a lot more options but it is more about me not having to worry about wanting to put the diesel heater on or putting lights on on or the TV for example without lugging the Jackery about. I just want to get to San Sebastian now or Santander to really try it out.

Rain….. AGAIN!

Then the next thing will be Mum saying how hot it is and why couldn’t we get something to power the air con. To be honest to power the air con we would probably need a nuclear reactor. I am excited though. It was my 11th day out of 12 working and i am working tomorrow but i am looking forward to Sunday when we are due a nice little bit of weather as well so hopefully be able to spend some time outside with having arm bands or an umbrella.

It is starting to feel like we are all on the mend and starting to get better. My back is noticeably different and my cold is definitely lifting still got a bit of a dry cough. I am certainly feeling much better again and hopefully by the end of the weekend be back close to 100% and hopefully be 100% ready for Nottingham. Funnily enough i am most excited for Nottingham because i can properly test my solar panels out. We may not have an air fryer to work it then but we will certainly be testing it out. I mean if it could last us for the 3 or 4 days whilst we are there and not get too close to being empty i will absolutely chuffed to bits with it.

I do love this motorhome and despite it being an old girl she has character and as we have now put a bit of money into it and brought into the 21st century as long as it is ok mechanically i can honestly see me keeping it for a long time. The next thing when the Beef is older is that he will need a bed but we have been looking into Cabbunk and getting him a bunk bed but i am not sure how quickly they go up and got down as it will involve me making a taking a bed down and i don’t know that i have the appetite for that. Every single day. That is not for me that!
