So, in a surprising turn of events (to me), I was informed that in Land Rover did not in fact fail it’s MoT, I was just being wound up. In fairness too, I never did ask in so many words if it passed or not, I just made assumed, there by making an ass of me in this instance. (To assume is to make an ass of ‘u’ and me). So I now have a split pin, for which I could not a place to fit it, and I did look, but like Alan said, he doesn’t think there is a hole in the rod end for the split pin, I suggested just bending it around the threaded part. But I suspect I’ll just keep the pin in the dash for old time sake. Insurance is next along with the road tax, I love taxing my Land Rover. “Why?” Because […]
Alan is putting the Land Rover in for MoT on Thursday at 4pm. I am pretty excited! This past two years and a bit is the second period of time that it has been off the road since I have owned it. So to have it back on the road will be great. Apparently it needs a new fuel sender unit, so that’s been done today by Alan. Fingers crossed everyone!
Ian (Hannah’s friend) came and visited us on Sunday, we had a roast for lunch then went for a leisurely walk along the Thames and afterwards to a pub for hot chocolates, I had a nice cup of tea. In the evening Hannah and I went to see a fireworks display (For Guy Fawkes night, a celebration of this fellows attempt to blow up parliament in the 1500’s – ok, well that’s no entirely true.). Here are a few pictures:
We went and visited some National Trust gardens today, about an hour north of Maidenhead. Very pretty, we spent a few hours walking around the gardens, a lovely way to spend a day. Nice to get in free too!
This weekend was spent in Cornwall working on getting the Land Rover closer to being road worthy and in MoT worthy condition. Great progress was made, thanks go to Alan and Dave! The red axle is a Land Rover light weight axle which I purchased from another friend. we swapped out the various parts that were better and re-build it on to mine.
So we’ve been busy over the past few days since we got back, found a place to live, got a mobile (cell) phone and also think we’ve found a car that we might buy. Tomorrow is D-day for all, we hope to sign the contract with the estate agents and also buy the car.. Off to have a bite to eat now at the pub next door.
We’ve been very busy this past few weeks, selling stuff and getting around seeing our friends and relatives around Sudbury, also seeing things for one last time before we head out. Tigger is finally done with his visits to his least favorite place.. I only have two days remaining to work in the Sudbury office. The apartment is devoid of comforts necessities, we’re moved into the house that we started off life in Canada. Farewell to Canada, we’ll miss you, but we’ll be back to visit, hello England, home we come.
This was an exercise in HTML5, which I thought I’d share with you all, it might come in handy if you ever feel the need to know the area of a circle or the volume of a cylinder, given that the measurements are in whole numbers. I am trying to think of something more complex to try to achieve here.. Suggestions are welcome. Enter the Radius of the circle here – This is the area of the circle is 28.2743338815 in the given sqaure units Enter the height of the Cylinder here – The volume of the cylinder is 141.3716694075 in the given cubic units
We went to Killarney today, to go Canoeing. Having set off at about 10am we arrived having seen some deer, Hannah saw two raccoon coming down a tree and setting off into the bush. We then went for paddle right to the far end of George Lake and back. It was a little on the windy side but still warm enough, we stopped for a spot of lunch at what must be a popular spot as there was the remnants of a fire. On our way back home I spotted a bear at the side of the road and then half an hour on Hannah saw two big male moose at the side of the road.
