Sitting tight for Christmas

Apologies to the regular readers for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks, but to be honest there's been very little to report.  The final missing Eberspacher parts have all now arrived, and despite no changes being made to the system since the last post, she's not displayed any error codes for a couple of weeks now.  So we still have a spare controller unit to change as/when/if required.  However, the last of the parts only arrived yesterday, so realistically it'd be a bit of a bonkers rush to get the last ferry before Christmas - plus having just looked on the ferry website there's no space for Moglet anyway, so that's that decision taken care of!So we're going to sit tight here and look after the house while mum and dad are in the UK.  We've stocked up on the booze, Jasons chopped a pile of logs for the fire, we've got in a big tin of Roses to plough through and I have a splurge of a roast dinner planned for Christmas Day.  Things could be a lot worse :-)
Ferries start up first thing in the new year and mum and dad are back here on the 30th, so the plan at the moment (!) is to leave pretty much as soon as they get back here.

In the meantime there's a few little odd jobs around Moglet at the need to be done, but nothing major, we're pretty much ready to go.  The temperatures have been getting down to around -5C overnight which is causing condensation build up under the bed, so we bought some insulation sheets a few days ago, and Jasons going to fit those to the floor of the luton section, which should improve things no end.  We also found that in hotter conditions the cab heats up like a greenhouse, even with window blinds in place, and the heat radiates up into the camper section all through the evening, so hopefully the insulation will reduce that effect too.

We also have a bit of a last minute guest situation here - my sister decided to take advantage of a cheap Ryanair deal a week or so ago and book seats for her and her 6 year old twin boys to pop over for a week, and they arrived yesterday afternoon.  So things are a little noisier than usual!  Currently they're playing with two little motorised trucks, building obstacle courses from logs and bits and pieces, seeing what terrain they can get them to go across - sound like budding overlanders to me!
