France 2 UK

chapter 41 - France 2 UK



Dear Diary....
Now what I need... is to go to the Church and revel all my sins... mheeeee :)

After the hard work in France , Mum and Dad have decided to come back to UK in a very low motion and appreciating the views.

After they left the Pommes, they drove to a camping park) near by and they had a rest while looked at the web to see how the superficial world is going ;)
This camping park was nice and had a big lake PLUS they had internet code ... yuuupppyy !!! It was just outside of Pompadour in Camping "Les Etoiles",
Mum and Dad stayed for one night and in the morning ... off we go ;)

It was a long drive so they stopped later in the day in a very friendly French Village called "La Blank".
Of course they didn't miss the chance to make a tour around the village and get to have dinner in the garden wood bench hi hi hi ... was very fun (there was an old man who kept following mum and dad insisting to tell us a story about something they really couldn't understand... but EY... he had a very nice bunch of Cats around him :) blessssss !!

They found a small castle and they walked around then they went to sleep very early.

Next morning ..off we go again.. (always on the go.. e ne ?)


Soon they stopped in other French Village for a break and some food ..
This time, dad parked me in a place which had a sign say: "Place de heros" (place of the hero's)  and on the back of the sign, was a cemetery of solders from the second world war !!
I really didn't understand why Dad was laugh so much... was no fun at all !
But ey... Do we need to die for our country to be recognised as an hero ?
Questions !!

After a meal in a little pizza caffe, we got back to the road and drive till very late.
No way they could find a camping park !
Not because was very essential but mum and dad was in the road  driving for 2 days and they really wanted a shower but there was no camping park for many many miles... until finally , they found a very strange camping park.
This park even had cameras around but didn't have hot water of any conditions PLUS, looked like there were only residents. Sort of a long term camping park.
Mum and dad did try to found someone to book in but it was quite all around and didnt see no one around... cool, so we stayed for the night, and didnt find no one in the morning either..so that was a freebee night :) There was not much going on in that place just big pitches , but no electrics.. no hot shower.. no pay.
Thats it... sleep !

After a good sleep, we left because it was till a long way to drive...drive..drive..We made few more stops and got to the Ferry long before the departing time, so we still had time there for a little rest.

Luckily, when we got back to UK, there was a few very nice sunny days. That made it a bit easier to climates back with English weather :):)
and then...
Home Sweet home :o)

Do you think is all over ??
Just turn the page and you will see some more adventures of

Chapter 27 - Breaks (Part3)

Chapter 27 -  Breaks (Part3)

Dear Diary...

I am finally fixed but this was only solved today and during the weekend was some bits and pieces happen that I will like to register.

First the good news...
* The Fridge is working :) :) :)
* Leisure battery is getting charged :) :) :)
* New music speakers on the back :) :) :)
* New Gas Bottle :) :) :) :)
* Serviced
* New master Break cylinder :) :) :)
* New Break Cylinder in the rear wheel :) :) :) :)

Then the bad news....
* No money for travel !!!
JOKE !
But all this was a little fortune for a poor man like Dad :o/
By the way...

INSERT COIN !!
(Do I need to tell you why ??)

OK, lets download:

* The Fridge is working :) :) :) 
After many attempts to get this fridge to work, dad was giving up on the idea to have a fridge !
Some other friend looked at the fridge before trying to solve the problem, but this fridge is connected with the gas, so was hard to have an electrician making plumber work and my fridge was no way to start.
Dad lost his temper (as he do with women's ;) He switched all the gas tube connections and clicked so many times on my fridge button that... Voi la... IT work !
The little flame started and the fridge is now working :)
And now you wonder... So, what's the problem ?
and I answer... I didn't work for too long, that's the reason !

here the image of the fridge connections :




The fridge can not be connected with the gas while I drive but dad think the fridge will work if  he connects the electric system which coming from the leisure battery. This is still a mystery to unveil on next chapters ...





* Leisure battery is getting charged :) :) :)

 The Leisure battery was discharging very quick !
After dad friend (Thanks Nathan) had a look at the leisure battery last month, he found that the fuse was blow, by this time, this is not news but this weekend dad found that the battery just needing distillate water !
LOOOL


* New music speakers on the back :) :) :)
Still under last weekend, mum and dad have gone to a car-boot and they found a nice and cheap pair of speakers that can be connected with the IPOD or MINIDISC or LAPTOP or whatever they want to connect !
Anyway, is a nice pair of speakers that doesn't need batteries or electric to work and they have a very good acoustic sound. Here is some Image of  similar  ones (unfortunately I didn't found on google images :o/ dad say, I am very special and everything I have is very unique.. ppffff)

But they are very similar to this ones , only not soo good, (I am not posh anyway !!)
The only difference between this ones and the ones I have, is that my ones extend the tube for a better bass fidelity ;)


* New Gas Bottle :) :) :) :)
 This was a busy weekend...
Mum a dad have been in a camping store and they brought a new gas bottle for me. I have 2, one was empty and the other one was nearly gone, so they decided to get one full bottle as they will have to cook while they travel. I had the bottles from before , they just pay for recharge (£15.00)
Not bad but can be very helpful if you
INSERT COIN !
(Notes are welcome too;)

More paparazzi moments:



* Serviced 
As I wrote in my latests chapters, I had a service all around / Breaks/ oil/ filters, etc...

INSERT COIN !




* New master Break cylinder :) :) :) 
* New Break Cylinder in the rear wheel :) :) :) :)
(I dont know why this smiles are about, but anyway !!)

Ketchup... Finally !!
Today dad took me to the garage and they fixed my break issue.
As related on the last chapter, I have now a new break master cylinder and a new break rear cylinder.
I was loosing all my break fluid slowly and was hard to know until the breaks start to sound faulty.
I will remember  this but I dont want to talk about tragedy any more :o/
I AM NOT a drama queen!!!

Time to make planes for travel
 
By now... coins, its all what is left in dads pocket after so much money spent on me.
He keep counting coins, I hope my adventures dont have to stop here because his going bank corrupt !!
IS NOT MY FAULT
I blame the Mechanic !
