Hard to believe it, but we arrived a week ago. We have both settled in to trailer life as though we had not been away. Today was shopping day, and we headed off into Brunswick rather than shop locally. On the way back we filled up the truck with diesel, the price here is $3.80 US / gal. This equates to about $1.09 CDN / litre (including exchange rate) . Back home it is around $1.33. Unfortunately the Canadian $ is not our friend at the moment; this time last year the $ CDN was at par with the US $, now its about 10% lower.
After lunch Lyn headed over for a craft group meeting at the club house, this was the same craft group that she set up last time she was here so she was pleased to see that it was still running. While Lyn was crafting I decided that I really had to start cleaning the outside of the trailer. The front cap was the worst, but a bucket of warm soapy water, a brush and a hose pipe got it cleaned up again. In keeping with tradition, the trailer will be cleaned over a number of days!
Last chore of the day was draining and cleaning out the septic tank, I won’t bother to go into details of this….. yet.
When Lyn got back we headed out for a walk, and met up with another Ontario camper from Orangeville just North of Toronto. While we out walking there were dark clouds building up west of us, with strong winds starting. Back at the trailer the winds continued and a number of things around the trailer started blowing around, including the satellite dish. Last time I re-aligned the dish I put a piece of tape on it to show where the alignment point was, a quick twist of the dish had it aligned in 2 seconds!
