9 to 17 August
9 to 17 August 2023 Wednesday 9 August Domestic chore day - there's a leak from one of the (unlabelled) bits of plumbing in the 'garage' (rear storage area) and so we take everything out, including a layer of the floor covering, to dry and John tries to work out where the leak is coming from. I use the on-site laundry to do some washing (a lot cheaper than the drive up launderettes) and am firmly told by a chap there that I should be out 'enjoying the weather' (to be fair, it's not raining). Try to clean the mo-ho roof skylights which have become a bit grungy, only to find that the grunge is on the outside and only accessible via a ladder. Or a cherry picker. Neither of which, unbelievably, my boy scout, has brought with us. The weather turns to 'situation normal ' i.e. rain, in the afternoon, and we agree that the Irish weather has lost its charm, so book a ferry from Dublin to Holyhead for next week. It's a shame not to go back to Norther...
