What have you been doing today?

Our 5.5 year old Labrador was a bit off on Monday evening, Tuesday morning she has pink sick, then looked like she was going to have a stroke, darted outside and had bright red diarrhoea. I rang the vets and long story short we got her in 70 mins later.

Straight on a drip and kept her over night. She’s came home and was really not herself. She picked up slowly and is back to normal and in fact sniffing because a chicken is almost done.

I thought she was gone when I saw the bright diarrhoea. Apparently it’s not that uncommon and locally there’s been a few cases

God help when it’s her time. I fell you pain chaps. I know I don’t know what it’s really like yet, but that was a horrible preview.
What the heck was that Bright Red !
Not blood then.
 
Reminds me of the time I had a severe UTI and the doc asked me how I was sure. I said I had blood in my pee. Is it slightly pink?, he asked. No, it's looks like a blood sample!

Frightening.

I had one of those once, mine was pure blood coming out, stings like crazy too, was like pizzin razor blades. It is very worrying when you see it.
 
Did you post the pics of your van??

Right here we go. Electrics consist of 1 x 300ah battery and a 2000watt inverter, works well, so far we haven't used gas at all although the weathers so warm we've only eaten salads lol. After a night of boiling the kettle, having all the lights on, fridge freezer working overtime the battery might drop to 85% but returns to 100% during the day courtesy of the 150watt solar panel. Got a diesel heater for the cooler nights.
If (when) I do another one, I'll go for a larger battery or two batteries, double up on the solars, and do away with the gas altogether and cook electric, maybe have a portable gas ring with a cannister just in case.
Yesterday we had a Fiamma roll out awning fitted and one of the last things I fitted was a swivel base for the 2 passenger seats, this really opens the van up as well as giving extra seating.
Still doing just 2 and 3 day trips at the moment but in September we hope to do a week or more in Scotland then head down to Spain in January.
Can't begin to describe how good it is to be able to stand up in it, unlike the Vivaro. I've just started helping next door panel out a vw transporter and it's doing me back in.

is that van particularly wide are or you vertically challenged ?


seriously though - great job mate
 
Absolutely awesome mate. What a fantastic job you have done. I would love to have that. Me and Lena have been looking at new ones but they are over priced. That looks equally as good as ones we have looked at 75k

lol, the bed is just about 6' long across the width of the van, what a lot of people do is remove a verticle panel stiffener on each side and that can give you 6'4" to 6'6".
I'm 5'8" so I didn't bother.
