Settling in

After getting most of the problems sorted out yesterday it was time for a new one. As I switched on the microwave to defrost a bagel, all the power went out in the trailer. No blown circuit breakers inside or out, and no voltage at the plugin stand 🙁  Moving the campground breaker around gave intermittent hydro together with the sound of arcing from within the electricity supply box, not good! Maintenance turned up to replace the breaker, and all is now good.

It was now time for me to set up my toys and do a couple of repairs. I now have the ham radio antenna setup, and will hopefully get the radio setup tomorrow. Went through the once a trip battle with the BBQ igniter and won.

The campsite WiFi proved to be very iffy, and it was impossible to do a video Skype yesterday with Noah, so Lyn was missing out on Granny time! We topped up our data stick and now have reasonable phone and skype access.

Weather still windy but pleasantly warm at 20C.

    I have never understood bagels!!! What are they meant to be? A cake, a roll something in between??? A complete mystery!!!!

  2. Robert says:

    Is it a vegetable?

  3. Hazel says:

    Could be a veggie I suppose Robert but that would mean my brother was defrosting something healthy for himself……….so maybe not!

  4. Barry says:

    It wasn’t for me, it was for SWMBO. Robert think of it as a dried out doughy doughnut that gets toasted. That’s why I don’t eat them!

  5. Hazel says:

    Thank goodness, my brother does have taste!!!!

  6. Robert says:

    SWMBO, is that a swear word for my sister?

  7. Hazel says:

    No it stands for ‘she who must be obeyed’ I sure Lyn has a name for my brother as well!

  8. Barry says:

    I think I need to keep you two apart!!

  9. Robert says:

    I racked my brain for a long time on this one, my guess wasn’t too far out! Does Linda get the right of reply as per Hazel,s response? Hope the wind dies down.

    There doesn’t seem to be a male equivelant expression unfortunately, I wish there was. I’m sure a few people could think of some appropriate expressions.

  11. Hazel says:

    Maybe we should have a competition Lyn?

  12. Lyn says:

    He Who ??????

    He Who Believes She Who Must Obey
