What have you done with your California today?

[Blubus]

On our way home after two weeks in France. Just waiting in Dieppe for the 18.00 ferry.

 

[Detritus]

Tested out our Quechua Tarp awning extension mod at Roundhill in the new forest

 

[Teejay]

Deployed our awning for the first time in 'anger'. Smells all new and plasticky. ;-)

Another California, red one, is on the same site (Lauder).

Hottest weekend of the year and I have a conference in London for work! No problem; set off from Leeds Friday afternoon drive to Marton near Rugby stay at Lairhillock campsite (quiet site, no children, basic facilities but friendly). 90 minutes drive to London Saturday morning. Back to Lairhillock Saturday after the conference. Left there about 2.30 today for leisurely drive back to Leeds. Somehow, the work bit in the middle doesn't seem so bad.

Thanks...I am currently working on a rag rugged seat pad for the passenger seat when I rotate it and also to sit in my favourite spot in the open doorway.
No, alas no blanket on the ceiling! I have enough colour with the one on the seat, the cushions and soon the seat pad. Will post a pic when it's finished.

Used Florence to stay in for the last 4 nights in a hospital car park whilst my mother was in hospital in London. Saved hundreds of pounds in accommodation fees and also got a concessionary parking pass so total parking bill for the 5 days was £8! Cali flexibility at its best! Didn't dare put the pop top up though as I was trying to stay under the radar. Felt like the Lady in the Van! (But in a rather better van!)

All nuts covered with a sliver of thread lock. Hopefully that will stop them falling to bits

Yeah, AA man was like a formula one mechanic. I've learned a few lessons and need a couple of new items for the tool kit.

I've been sitting at a quiet campsite since about 4,30 am listening to birds and browsing the 800 new posts that I have.

Any tips? What extra items did he recommend?
