The Chill Out Zone

[Darcydog]

Heck of a storm last night. Bins blowing about - my watering can’s disappeared somewhere.

Very dull and grey here this morning tho thankfully a lot more calm.

Good morning all, good morning Clive. I hope the weather in the UK rolls in summer and rolls out those storms. We are in the winter period when the temp drops to around 17-20C, with torrential monsoon rain and high humidity. When we are cold, it’s usually hot in Europe. This year, those rules don’t apply, I am guessing it’s down to global warming.

My in-laws have gone to the UK on a walking holiday. Here is a shot of their border cross called Pimbee guarding their 4x4’s



So this morning, is the first time in 12 weeks, I have woken up to hardly any pain in the head from the Shingles and it’s quite an uplifting feeling. It’s time to make the tea....have a great day, catch you later

Morning Clive, morning Phil, morning Chillouters

Wind and grey sky here.....Looks like rain is on it's way

Good news waking up more or less pain free Phil. Long may that continue

Ah Shingles- not a nice thing at all. Glad you are over it. Stopped raining here so we are going to venture out into the New Forest for a walk with the dogs.

Wes is going to pop in for some wheels I’ve got - I only wanted a full size spare but ended up with two spare sets of four!

Love your RR - I also have a spare three spoke Classic RR alloy that needs a good home - I wonder what the postage out to you would be?

Or perhaps hand luggage........

Edit - just zoomed in to the pic - they are a perfect match!!! - SWMBO Will he pleased if I can get rid of a RR wheel as well as several ZT wheels!!!

How can do this ? LOL!!!

Morning all, miserable wet grey day here, it's tipping it down & the rain is deafening on the conservatory roof, time to move.

Have to say - moving is not a day I enjoy at all - so we don’t do it much.

But just think what it will be like at the end of the day - all in nice and snug!!

(And with loads of boxes to unpack and the bottle opener has run away....

Screw caps are a wonderful thing.

Thank you Clive, is it possible when you have time to take a photo of one of the alloys you are offering. My in-laws in fact are not walking in the UK, I was mistaken, they have gone walking in Rome and elsewhere in Italy for 2 weeks. This week my BIL who owns the RR flew in from the UK with a LR starter motor in his hand luggage. He was here for my birthday on Monday and on Thursday he flew to the UK, then Rome.

Last year, I needed some parts for my 4x4 and the parts had to come from the factory in Japan by sea. A friend here was shipping other parts in from the ISUZU GM factory, so I shared the costs which came to $200 USD all in and the part fitted/worked ok. He used a Somalian shipping company, as it was cheaper than DHL or Fedex and it was unlikely it would have been stopped and intercepted by pirates.

As you know, alloy 4x4's in the bush eventually take a beating from bad roads, pot holes and they can end up getting buckled or badly warped. Replacement here I imagine is expensive. When they are back from their walking holiday, I will speak to my BIL about your offer. Thank you very much, most kind.

The Shingles - I am lucky it did not leave permanent blindness or cause too much destruction. I count my blessings. The pain is getting less every day. I know what it is and its nothing to be scared off, its is an inconvenience, I will be fine. I heard these things are meant to make us stronger in character

Have a lovely walk in the New Forest with the dogs. You live in a beautiful part of the country, enjoy.
