We seem to have been hibernating the last few weeks. No caravan trip away to Carterton recently during the three day Queen’s Birthday Weekend, all due to me being in the “rest and recovery mode” after my spinal surgery. But Robin did take the caravan on a day trip away to check out the batteries, to check on our battery problems. Battery Guru Frank gave the system a good going over to see what the trouble was. Seems the batteries are fine, but things could be improved if we purchased a more efficient one. So the good thing that came out of this consultation is that we wont need to replace our batteries. Our last few rallies have been off power, in cold and cloudy conditions, so there was not a great deal of charging happening through the solar panels.
I have been loaned a walker from the hospital to help improve my mobility. Gemma has decided to try it out for size, and jumped up on the seat. Yes, it fits her quite well, she decided. Mind you, she is not too keen when it trundles towards her while she is stretched out on the carpet.
The other excitement in our lives recently is receiving our first Covid vaccination. We went down to the Health Centre joining a steady stream of elderly people, yes, we are in that category now. No trouble at all, it was done very efficiently, and we hardly felt a thing. Like all vaccinations, we had to sit and wait a while to make sure there were no side effects, and we were informed we could go home, although I’m sure some sneeked away early. It was almost like a Menz Shed gathering down there as several of Robin’s buddies had their Covid appointments too. Our second dose will be in three weeks time.
