257. Retail therapy

Nice

Roman forgot J had pegged his hair
out of the way

A delightful visitor

First stop for the day was the Nice* Hobby / Dometic dealer who had said that he would have the control PCB for our heat pump in stock today. To my surprise, he did have it so we purchased it, some replacement drainage hose, another strip LED to better light the kitchen bench, a new toilet seat as our lid had a crack in it and more toilet chemical. For our five hundred euro we also got him grumpily following us round the little shop first telling Roman off for touching items and then, to my surprise, me. When I asked if we could look at the large range of second hand hobby caravans on site that were open, on display, for sale, outside, he said no. Very strange, though it did stop us considering the very nice portable three way fridge that he had on display for three hundred and sixty euro, so he did us a favour - grumpy prick. I really hope the new PCB keeps the smoke in when I plug it in back at the Giantavan.

Roman is fascinated with the old PCB

Roman spent hours working on the PCB
and took it to bed

We then went into a shopping area on the outskirts of Nice and got the full Riccarton NZ experience of sprawling light industrial retail. While Jacqueline rushed around the mall getting a birthday dress for Audrey the five remainers hove-to in Mac D's. Also visited Toys R Us as a family to complete the afternoons horrific experiences.

Online board meeting tonight from ten thirty pm, probably till after two am.

Not all that is golden glitters (kids delighted)
