Went to the most exclusive car show in the world today; red Saab 900 convertibles. And my car club will be hosting a show next weekend.
A little rainy, but got to meet some new Saabophiles.

Got a call from the site where my caravan is located, in Norfolk.
As most here know, the site, and my 'van, was flooded on Christmas Eve, and I'd assumed the 'van would probably be severely damaged, to the point it would be unusable.
It seems that the water level didn't get too high inside the 'van, and after a good clean-out, and some remedial work, it should be OK , so that's really cheered me up !!

Thanks chaps.
Rather chuffed about this, and even if it takes some time to get sorted, it'll be better than having to spend a lot more on replacing the caravan with another campervan, which I'd been considering for next year.
I've been looking at 'vans, to get some idea of what's available, and prices., and there are some real sheds out there, selling for silly, high prices - seems the Covid thing has caused a demand in the used canpervan market , with prices rising to ridiculous levels.

Completed my practical surgical exams yesterday, think they went ok and will hear shortly. If passed then no exams for a while so that's a win!

Congratulations Hugh!
My wife and I are planning on getting one but are going to wait a few years when all the people that are buying them now because of Covid get tired of them and we can get one a couple of years old cheep.
That's fantastic news Terry!

This weekend the club I'm in was at one of the larger reginal shows. There were 1800 cars present with Saab having the most, 168.
This is a pair of friction testers that were used at airports during snow or heavy rain. The inner wheel would measure the slippage and determine braking rates and safety parameters.
Mine next to a 99.
And finally some beautiful French and German cars.
It was the most perfect 2 days of weather we have had in 20 years of coming here. Many more pictures here (click on the post time under Paul's name) ((Thanks Mark for making sharing pics on your platform easy))

Just informed the HR department at the mine that almost five months later, I'll be returning to work on the 26th. I could also put this in the "What Annoyed You Today" thread

Karl and I managed to get down to Norfolk yesterday, to check on the flood damage to my caravan.
I'm very happy to report that, apart from a thin layer of mud dust on the floor, and some very light mould spots here and there, from condensation, there doesn't appear to be any major damage to the 'van, with the seat cushions dry and clean, and even the carpet inside floor-level cabinets is dry, and doesn't appear to have got wet, and there are no "tide marks" anywhere to be seen on internal walls, partitions etc,, so we reckon the water must have only been maybe an inch deep, at most.
There is no evidence of damp odours or penetration in the walls or interior cabinet fittings, the latter being solid wood, and the laminate flooring is still solid, with no de-lamination or lifting, and is actually still clean and shiny under the thin layer of mud dust !
The electricity consumer unit appears to be unaffected, being well above where any water entered, so a couple of days work cleaning and washing down, inside and out, and check out the electrics, and it should be fine.
All being well, we hope to get back down there by early July to get it all sorted.
Me now Happy Bunny !!!!
