Today the day dawned grey and unimpressive so we slept in then decided to go for a drive to another town. We ended up in Port Eynon and did a little souvenir shopping before chowing down on fish and chips in the van. With lunch over we headed off to Llangennith where we hit Rhosili beach and checked out the surf. Being both warm weather water people Sarah and I decided to just watch and fly our kite. There was just enough wind to fly our kite but not enough for the land kiter to get his power kite and mountain board going.
20 20 cricket at the SWALEC stadium on a friday night. We just queued for 40 minutes for some beers and missed the first innings but now it is all good as we got seats in the front row.
After finishing flowering I decided to take the electric hedger to the tree in the backyard. I gave it a good old trim and even under cut the branches to open up the garden bed a bit. But all this work seems to just ensure that I have even more work to do. So now I have the extra garden bed to plant out and also I have been asked by the landlord to keep am eye on the front yard. As well as Sarah asking me to remove some large weeds it looks like I will be busy for as long as the weather is nice!
So we were off on another camping trip in the van and disaster struck about 2 hours in. The van started to missfire and loose power. So heading up a hill, with a coach and loads of cars closing in from behind, I was able to pull into a layby. I had a look at the engine and referred to the haynes manual but to no avail. So the RAC had to be called. The really nice guy checked the distributor, plugs, leads, a compression check, and they were all ok. So finally before calling a tow truck he pulled off the rocker cover and discovered a valve stuck open. He tightened up a screw then Steve was given a clean bill of health before we headed off. What a great way to have am adventure.
Today I started my new position in the company. So far it has been ok. Not too much stress yet and seeing how nice a day it is it has been even better.
Here is my potatoes on right and sarah's tomatoes on left.
