Karma is an awesome mistress.
Last week I got a PM via the Chevy Truck Forum from a New Zealander, who lives and works in Australia but was somewhere in Europe travelling with his partner in a camper van for the last six months.
He needed a recommendation on a non franchised garage to carry out some maintenance including new shocks all round on their camper van.
So we went to mobile Whatsapp chat mode.
I found and shared some garages but it seemed that everyone is booked quite solid.
So they decided to come to England, then fly to Iceland for a week on Friday and get the van sorted once back here.
I offered them my home as a stop over to use as a base while regrouping and doing London touristy stuff.
I think they were a bit surprised but I managed to convince them to stay ove a few days.
Of course lots of car and truck was spoken and we spent some time in my garage too. Arron's dad is a mechanic in NZ so it was a good time.
The cats both loved them and having the company and Caroline got herself a cat fix.
As always it was great, like when the McMurphy's were here, to have company in the house and being able to spend time with like minded people.
They previously did 42 states in the USA over 8 months and covered 24000 miles on that trip.
So had this on my drive for a few days while they slept in a real bed.
Arron's Chevy thats in storage in Australia at the moment.

It seems winter is here.
When I work in my office ( I work from home ) in winter the small oil heater keeps the chill at bay.
I had a personal wager not to turn the heating on till end October. Made it to 6 November though winter has not yet gone bitter cold.
What is funny though is that both cats often do a double decker in my office to be near the heat.
Of course this is more like what they like...... toasty
How I found Dukey, next to his latest hairball. Bleughh.
Friday today means weekend, unless I get a call out to work in London tomorrow.
