Default Change of plan, today

Well, I didn't get the illuminating apparatus onto the shield as expected.

I had a slow start to the day, and spent too long installing a slide out hot water system to the canopy of my old Defender (AKA 'Overlord') and just plain ran out of daylight. Maybe tomorrow. On the positive side, now we dontneed to be dependent on grotty old amenity blocks in order to get a hot shower. In fact, as long as we can find toilets somewhere, we're now independent on our travels.

I did make another acquisition today though. I bought a dial sight from ebay. My other one had a case which had damage to the leather straps, meaning it couldn't be attached 100%. It wouldn't have stayed closed, and could have bounced out while travelling. I will take steps to get it repaired some day. The one I bought today, comes in a case which is fully intact,........and it was made in Australia!
