Scooter replaced. It was the battery apparently but this new scooter is a bit more powerful. Of course the scooter man came while I was out at the shops sourcing lunch, typical. It’s about time Mr SA dealt with something by himself though. I wouldn’t mind but the hills here are no steeper than where we live. Anyway fingers crossed for tonight and time to relax on a sunbed with my book until then.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)13

@Sun_Addict - For information, I've just watched our local weather forecast. Dizzying heights of 2 degrees overnight. Tomorrow night = frost!! So enjoy that sunshine, as it's still like a fridge here!

Forgot to mention before…if you start getting bitten by mozzies, buy some antihistamine tablets and take one a day.i always start taking them a day before our holidays ( sometimes get bitten on the plane). If i don’t take them,i end up with what looks like huge nipples where i get bitten by mozzies2
