Lights
Steve has installed ceiling lights in the lounge and the kitchen. Twin fluoro lights, they run off mains electricity, 240 volt, at present, but also off 12 volt.

Pool Views
As always, there are "pool views" on everything under the sun. I told Neville that I will get all the caravan park news from him and publish it the next morning.----- but that would halt a lot of discussion!!
The new pool being built is the greatest source for stories. It's hard to believe that people can loudly pontificate on a subject, with all the wrong facts. Neville can tell us at 1pm what they are doing with the pool and at 2pm, we can hear the opposite! Don't they realise that if they haven't heard a thing first hand, from someone who knows, that the information is not necessarily correct??? Steve and I say nothing. We don't want to get into an argument with the loud-mouths, so we just smile inside.

Gardening
Neville and the gardener Wayne have been mowing the grass across the front of this site, ever since we left here last December. They removed the logs that had made it into a garden bed and apparently it made quite a nice lawn. All of a sudden, the rain came and up popped the bulbs ---- lilies, iris and jonquils.
Steve was persuaded to dig up the bulbs and replant them elsewhere. Now they are are free from lawnmowers! It made for good discussion in the pools ........ all the men agreed with Steve and Neville, that concrete lawns and brick hedges are the best kind of garden. The women were of my opinion. I'm hopeful that the bulbs will still flower this season but if they don't, they will next year.
