Decided against going to Roman Solona today and postponed it to tomorrow. Chores again, including washing Henrietta, her first full wash of the Odyssey. Most campsites have notices to say that you are not allowed to wash motorhomes, but this one actually has a designated area for it. It is also the place for dumping grey (washing not toilet) water. We had only just started the washing process, including me forcing my way up through the Heiki (fanlight) to access the roof when another motorhome, the only other motorhome on the site decided that they wanted to dump grey water. So, after a short interlude, Henrietta got her wash and looked much better for it!
Using the site's washing machine and tumble drier, Jane did our washing but came back with the finished articles complaining that the tumble dryer was a waste of time- the washing was as wet afterwards as it was when it went in. Still, given that it was very warm (shorts and T-shirt for me and a dress for Jane – a very rare event), she improvised a washing line and everything dried very well during the day. We enjoyed the warm weather while we could, the waiter at the rugby bar had warned us the weather forecast for the weekend was predicting a cold snap with the outside possibility of snow!
I spent a great deal of time trying to get the satellite television working without any joy. I suspect that the coaxial cable to the dish may be damaged and I may need to replace it. However, without satellite TV we won't be able to see the World Cup Final, unless we can find somewhere to see it in Dubrovnic. This is no less than a crisis! We don't want to miss a glorious victory over South Africa and a second consecutive World Cup for England.
In the evening, we watched the bats swooping around the campsite and our van. They are fantastic creatures and they are nature's hoovers of biting flies, for which I am very grateful!
