Full Moon ceremony

Full moon on the 9th May, three days early (We were married on the 12th but because of moon) we had a recommitment ceremony, Yeh! I know, married again, and to the same Sheila!!!
It was great, very small with only our son and my sister from our family and close friends. As our readers know both Fae and I follow Wicca so our ceremony was done as a “hand fasting” (you can look that up if you want) It all went very well and some onlookers were a bit enlightened as to what was going on. No sacrifice, or nude debauchery (Bugger! She said that was in!!) Just a very nice gathering. My Fae looked beautiful, and almost brought a tear to my eye. We originally got married in a registry office sooooo long ago!. Fae has always wanted to do this so I just bought it up out of the blue. It was great and I should have done it many years ago. OK enough self flagellation, have a look at the pic and I will try to add a picture file later.
Have a great time dreaming or doing it. (Travelling I mean??)

The Sundowners Arrive

Fae has gone down to Brisvagas for the day to attend a training session, not enough time to shop!! BUGGER says She!! Ha! Ha! Says I
Still it gives me some time to do the washing etc to surprise her, also to have a look at the water inlet. Jayco’s have a pressure reduction valve that keeps from blowing all the pipes off your van with high water pressure. A great thing but it seems to be playing up on me, when you get up in the am some times you can't get the water to run for some minutes, bugger if you are in the shower at 6am I tell you. Still I will have a look at same today, if any one knows any secrets feel free to drop us a line in the guest book!
On that subject I would appreciate some comments etc in same as we don’t seem to get many. I am starting to feel unloved, Yeh! Right.
We had some friends join us a few months back Paul and Lynne who I mentioned earlier had a bit of a set back. They too are a great couple and we saw quite a bit of them during the wet season. We have missed their company and seeing the dogs (Fae even bought dog chocs for Cindy & Honey) over the last few weeks. We came home the other day to find they had left with out saying good bye and wonder what we did? Still we hope they have good and safe travels where ever they go and some of you will meet up with them I am sure.
The park is really starting to fill up with lots of very nice people. There are still some kids, sorry ,I mean children about, running around and yelling. Hopefully they will go soon and I can pretent to be a "Sundowner" again for a few months.
Ok that’s all for today, have to fix that valve before the boss gets home, safe travels to you all.

The Waiting Goes On

Ok so I have been very slack and some of our readers have said so.
I just checked the guest book and saw a message from Shiela&Willymakeit, I thought we had lost contact with those pair, as I have said before and for those of you who have been lucky enough to meet them, would agree, they are the salt of the earth, and a great couple. You can spend so quality time over the odd ale or three with them.
I & Fae have been working very hard and long hours for some time now and coming home to the van is very precious to us just to spend some time together and rest up. It seems as though I have got a thing called Lymph Oedema in my lower legs, (that sucks, when I get home I look like balloon man) There is no history of it in my family and I have had no trauma or ops so it is a bit unfair. I will find out on Monday the total verdict but looks like I will have to wear compression stockings on the lower leg to stop the swelling. As far as I can find out there is no cure and I am stuck with it. Ah! Well, I am still alive and have Fae with me.
Our son hit us with the news that he and his fiancĂ© have split up after seven years of living together, he is shattered and just doesn’t know what to do at this stage, as I said life sucks some times.
The weather is getting much better but so bloody cold during the night, I try to cuddle up to Fae but she tells me I’m too cold and to keep on my side. 26 during the days though and plenty of sun, beautiful!!!!
Has anybody had any trouble with the top of the line Coleman reclining chairs?? We purchased two of the 130kg rated ones, (Fae stops the scales at 50kg if she is ringing wet) me well I am getting up there at 110kg. We have managed to break two arms and the seating on Fae’s tore at the seam. This all happened over a six month period. The guy where we got them replaced the first two with nary a problem, but when we took the latest one back he said he did not have stock and was not getting any in the near future. We asked if there was a problem with them to which he replied that they had a few returns!! After telling us to take them to some other shop who had stock to get them replaced, I asked if we could get our money back, no probs so long as we had receipt. Fae always keeps these things, typical female!!! (Ouch) But he would not return the one that was not broken saying there was nothing wrong with it. I said that he had just hinted that they have problems with that model and I would like a refund on that one also, no go. So guys just beware of the arms breaking on the adjustable Coleman 130 kg chairs.
