Bad news for Yeovil area, 3 more car parks have our caravanning utilising nomadic travelers back!

Need to keep an eye out, as I have a Carpark right behind me, they like it there too.

The wildlife are still trying to recover from the last time they came here, not to mention what our friends did in the school grounds, plus the public foot patch!

Do the visitors resemble Pikes?

The school had to be closed as they was using the street outside some of the houses, the school field & school play area to defecate.

We had piles of larger cans in the hedge and corners of the Carpark, it cost the council thousands of pounds.

On the plus side, the community service people had a load of the picking up the larger cans and rubbish, they also had to sweep the car park.

Errm, yes: I was trying to avoid use of that word directly, as some consider it pejorative!

Had to take the dog yesterday to the vet, it was for his yearly booster jabs and I had him chipped.

There is a change to the lepto vaccine, I got to take the dog in 4wks, that appointment is free.

Grand total at the vets, for booster injections, microchiping, the 4wk appointment for the second half of his lepto vaccine £52.29

I don't think that was to bad this time, was expecting £75+ for all.

So, why are BBC reporting about a " horrendous tic problem? "
Anyone who has a dog, cat, hedgehog or wife would have known about this years ago. Nowt better to report!

Complex tics, such as facial grimacing or repeating a sound, tend to make people look at you funny :lol:

Just had an E Mail from our friends who live near Lorca in Murcia (Where we often go on holiday) and her expression tickled me: "As hot as the hinges of hell"!

Lorca! Ha 2 degrees cooler than here, but cannot upload weather station report!

Perhaps because it is png format, working on it!

Today gets worse, just gone out to the car, to pop to the chemists, and it won't start, the battery has failed :-(

But it has also gone into lock down, the alarm is still armed.

So can't get the pills today, got v.w. Coming to get the car started, and towed back to the workshop.

Then it's going to need the new battery, and lots of re-coding.

I can only imagine what the cost will be £££
