Day 321 - #firstworldproblems

It is never easy for the first few days on vacation with a 5 hour time difference to cope with. Not a problem for me today, but Mrs L had a tee time at 08:45 so had to keep moving in the morning. That being said, it's a great way of managing the jet-lag, so am a bit jealous but, just as at Burhill, Tuesday is Ladies Day here at UPCC as well...

I promise that this will be one of the few references to the Florida weather as I am very conscious that it is rather better here than at home... Florida, like the UK, had enjoyed a very warm December with temperatures regularly up in the 80s, which is most unusual at this time of year.  Again, similar to the other side of The Pond, more normal service has been returned and so the daily max today will be in the low 70s (everyone talks Farenheit here...) though when the skies are clear, the nights will be noticeably chillier.

One of the "joys" of returning to a vacation home is checking that everything is working properly. This was not the case today: despite our best efforts we couldn't get the golf cart to charge properly, the front doorbell is on the blink and the garage door opener for the small side door (yes, it's for the golf cart...) will not work either, even after I have put a new battery in.  As my son would say "Hashtag, firstworldproblems"!

What is working properly however is the WiFi Security Application which allows me to watch UK TV on my laptop, mirrored across to the big screen with Apple TV.  This means that I can keep up to date with the sport and we can also watch UK catch up TV.  Deutschland 83 hier kommen wir...
