Video Arrives (sort of)

The list is still in a temporary hiatus thanks to a broken washing machine suffered by the Fego household last night. Not terribly good timing I have to say, but then again when would be a good time for your washing machine to croak it? Despite the deafening noise it was making and ignoring the fact I am no more qualified to repair washing machines than I am to host Motorhome tours, I couldn’t help getting my tool box out and diving underneath the worktop and into the small gap to see what I could do. Obviously, there was nothing I could do other than make a mess which I spent two hours championing. Mrs.F was chuckling when I proudly announced "there's nothing obvious" after my two hour diagnosis and in retrospect, so am I now.

After tidying up, I realized that I didn’t have any time now to dedicate to the list so played with the new video recorder again. I did however manage to read a bit of advice from the Caravan Club’s website which made me laugh; “On your first trip out, you will probably not want to travel too far from the Port”. Hah! Not me. Full on 1,300 miles. Easy.

I received more good luck wishes today and also some good advice. I've banked some of it to use against the increasingly doubting Mrs.F in relation to weight. There is apparently, after all, a weighbridge nearby that will prove my sanity and hopefully enable us to only ferry the things we really need.

I still haven't fixed the final route, nor even settled on variables loosely related to where I might end up. I don't think it's as important now as it was so I have spent a bit of time trying to get getting video to work on here for the actual trip. If I eventually get the clip to load, you might be a bit disappointed with its quality and its boring nature, but I had to record something and that's what I ended up with. It might be a bit unreliable so don't be disappointed if it doesnt work.

Tomorrow, I really will get on with that list and I expect that will highlight a few more areas I am way behind on.
