We're cursed you know...

... I swear all the bad things I ever did are catching up with me! Or I'm just getting a little overwrought and tired! You choose.
Yesterday we thought we'd had a major electrical failure. Nothing in the van was working and H and I stood looking at each other. You could hear the desperation and panic in the air! Loads of 'Oh shit' started flying and for a moment I thought that was us. I was already mentally driving back to vancouver. So in a very despondent mood I wondered off to the internet to e-mail some people and say hi in an effort to lift our spirits. 10mins later H arrives and tells me the next door RVer is an electrician and has some tools with him! Silver lining I hear you say. Well you couldn't be more right. I asked if he could have a look at it and 20mins later he had us back up and running. The neutral wire in the plug had parted for some reason. He cut the plug and gave us one of his own which he re-wired! Bless this angel in disguise. We can now still take pics and listen to our tunes. So we're off to go and park on a beach for a day or so before heading down further south. Wish us luck and touch all the wood you can see!

Just keep Cynthia off the sand or you'll be looking for a trench digger neighbour to dig you out.
Glad to hear the foot seems to be coming on.
Stay well.
