I bet someone...

Wishes he were here?

My scenic view

While typing the last entry i didn't spot the rain was back again so i now have more canvas to dry. I'm going to be at a loose end today. Although it's only fine drizzle, it's the type where you suddenly look down at wet trousers clinging to wet legs and realise you're soaked through - and i have nowhere to hang or dry wet gear. So do i pass the day tucked up in bed, wandering aroung Tesco or a 3 hour shower followed by 7 hours of trying to get my fur dry? Decisions... At least i'm the only camper here and have everything to myself.

Drying out the damp bits

I should have remembered from scotland that i need to buy some proofing spray so that's today's job and may prevent another night of drip... drip... drip... The rain has stopped for now but fear not, 3 days of heavy showers are faithfully promised.

It isn't even cold but it's cosy

And kills time!

Cleddau estuary

Another scenic view through the drizzle. The online forecasts predict more of the same overnight with a bonus of heavy showers to look forward to until at least tuesday.

Pembroke castle

Through heavy drizzle.

Manorbier

Now at Manorbier in the rain. I think i'm going to be at a loose end this weekend as i've no facility for hanging or drying waterproofs and they soon make the van feel very damp. But... I'm only here to escape the diabolical Country Wailing Festival din at home! My battery is up to 13.2v so i'll have ample light to read. An evening in Tesco may beckon and if an opportunity presents then i have some filming instructions from Maddie-Bun....

Bison

I'm steering clear of these. They would bite!

Waiting to be...

.... pounced on and bitten by the lemurs

A happy family

Flamingo

I can't join these

Feeding time

Wallabies

I need a wide angle lens

At St. Florence

At St. Florence waiting for the rain to ease before venturing out to be nibbled at by the sharp toothed lemurs. Just tested new tap which works well and is a great improvement on the squash bottle. Am regretting not bringing the waterproof camcorder because this rain looks set to stay for the weekend but at least i'm spared the country wailers. Sorry - no email: pc crashed again and would neither shut down nor reboot.

I couldn't resist this ...

Or rather I could resist the contents but not the pic!

Day of the stickers...

Handsome bruno also reminded grandma that today was the promised day of the stickers. Grandma couldn't let him down so, here at bridgwater, i have obeyed.

Showing off his new centre parting

Bruno

What a handsome boy

A cuddle from bruno

He doesn't look at all like Bentley but he is still stunningly handsome and in tip-top condition. He's done his dad proud.

She says i'm plump!

Dining in the salubrious...

...surroundings of Tesco car park at Yeovil. The next visit here could see the filming of the next Status Doe video and i'll be booking the eye test due back in 1998. They're free here and the bread is yummy too. Tesco has its critics but i'm not one of them.

Camera shopping

Off to Yeovil via any shopping centres i can find which might stock the camera for j. This should be Maddie's job but she seems too busy and distracted for shopping. Today is the day i'd planned to start the stickers. I've brought them with me and have a stanley knife ready (for the stickers, not my wrists) but am still not sure although i don't think i have much choice...

Very different to today's instrument panels!

I like the picnic basket!

Maybe i am just more nosey

Than others or more used to showing off my car. Over the last 3 days i've had 2 ask where to buy it and had 4 others stop me to show interest. The owners of these seemed very happy for me to take pics

Amazingly...

Nobody else gave these cars more than a passing glance, if that...
