Dear Milli
Ambi (and her makeover) have ventured off to Glastonbury. Yay for Ambi! What a mission!
Uli sorted out the mechanical side of things - new breaks etc. He plumber her in as well - with a little guidance from my dad. Even mum had imput, with providing black-out material & adhesive velcro to cover the skylights at night.
I feel a little broken after laying the floor - we decided on black & white floor tiles (like lino). A sharper blade would have been greatly appreciated - never mind! All those corners & weird angles were such a nightmare - nothing seemed uniform. The dirt on the floor was pretty daunting as well - I thought it would be impossible to get it all off - it looked properly ingrained after years of abuse. FILTHY!
It must have been pretty amusing watching us amateurs part-filling the 120 litre water tank, using a garden hose attached to out bathroom cold tap. It ran all the way through the flat, down the steps, across the pavement and into the side of Ambi. We'd agreed not to fill it up completely as the extra weight would increase the diesel consumption.
To be honest, I think we'll both be glad of a little break from her.
Oh yeah - it only dawned on me, the day before she was off, that I hadn't bought any chemicals for the cassette toilet. Oops. Luckily they had access to 'crew toilets'.
