12 March 2007 Times They Are A changin'


The nation has finally woken up to saving energy, so they have moved forward by three weeks the moving forward of their clocks by one hour. We changed last night, so now we are only 4 hours behind UK time, at least until the end of March. Yippee, we can all rest easy in our beds now. That’s going to save the planet isn’t it?
Back to funny coincidences, since we are talking about time, my watch has given up the ghost; I think I have had it for about 10-12 years on the same battery. Could be time for a new one.
Today is day 3 of our hunt for a TT. We are going to looking at Jayco TT and second hand TT. We spent a few hours in a second hand dealers, and found that many of the TT that were there and cheap had been mishandled in some way. Many looked like they had actually been lived in or had been rental models. I suspect that some may have been used for Hurricane Katrina relief housing. So that at least removed one area of investigation. We moved on to Bates RV and found a very nice TT, an Aruba Lite 298RKS, with most of the things we have been looking for, of course it is too expensive and it will need a bigger (read more expensive) truck to tow it.
The weather has really moved up a gear in the last few days, up into the 80’s, so it was nice to get back to the villa and spend some time by the pool. We also phoned the kids and that was lovely.
I managed to find all the ingredients and equipment to make a Sunday dinner, complete with Yorkshire puds made in a muffin tin. I have bought an espresso coffee machine ($20 would you believe) and want to try it out in the morning.
