Mmm well Caroles car is a Suzuki, with the indicator and wiper stalks reversed compared with the BMW so apoligies to all those who wonder why I am washing the windscreen when going round a roundabout in her car Ray

I am mortified Ray

It always amuses me on the BMW Z4 forum when members post about overhauling their BREAKS surely BMW owners are better educated Ray

Strangely I cant stand cod or herring roe, but there again I cant stand hot chocolate, tomato soup or tripe Ray

I hear what you are saying Lori, but the charity bag collections I dont mind you can shove all your tat, old knickers, socks, dodgy magazines etc in them, they pick it up and take it away, saves a trip to the dump Ray & Carole

Got a bit of a taste for it while working in Russia and Kazakhstan Grace, where its a lot cheaper, anyway it is only a Christmas treat, make sure we hide it from the kids tho Carole just completed her long course of nasty antibiotics so the nausea is slowly improving and she is up and about a bit again so fingers crossed for a good Christmas and thanks for asking Ray & Carole

RNLI only I'm afraid. It does rather amuse me when I get chugged by the same Big Issue seller in town every week, thats when he is not chatting or messaging on his latest Iphone of course, even I dont have one of those Ray

Reminds me when I was doing a job in Kazakhstan a few years ago, winter, minus 40c, chap taking me in big 4x4 to job site, asked him about the interesting smelling windscreen washer fluid he was using, neat bulk vodka, cheaper than buying screenwash Ray

Took out Governor membership many years ago and also contribute whenever I see a collection box, as both a professional seafarer and a leisure boater its always at the back of your mind you may need their services one day Ray

Thats good news then the thought of the cruise boat having done it full of passengers was a bit worrying Ray

Looks like someone has given the quay a bit of a bash Ray

Had to cut my balls off today As Carole not been well couldnt make up usual hanging baskets, so got some artificial topiary balls, well with this wind they have been going wild banging around, so decided to cut them down for the winter. Not As painful as the first line would suggest Ray

Agree with the above regarding powder and gas extinguishers, would seem that the fire point is probably the best option as long as you have a suitable portable powder extinguisher close by, then you would only deploy the powder if you had a real fire when engine damage would be the least of your worries, this is the option we are taking on Tangara ( when I get the time to fit it) Of course thats as long as long as your insurance does not require a fixed automatic system to be fitted.

PM sent Ray

Mud and snows all round on Caroles Jimbo, off to Gatport Airwick Friday for 3 weeks in Fuerteventura, back on 22nd Dec, shovel, deicer, emergency rations, snow tracks, sleeping bags, water, tea, coffee and stove will be left in the back just in case we are snowed in when we get back, but as usual most years never needed but ready just in case Ray & Carole
