And I picked a hot one to get these washed out, they were getting a bit wiffy after some numpties put food in them instead of putting it down the waste disposal. Duh!
Of course the nearest street drain was a few yards away, meaning 2 hoses and 110v extension required.

One down (the smelliest one).

That looks more like a shredder than a splitter!

More to come I'm sure at Margaritaville one night in the week.

An early morning visit to Disney Springs today. We like to get here before it gets busy for breakfast at Earl of Sandwich. As we came down the escalator from Orange Garage it was clear we had achieved our aim, it was empty.

They have live local bands on this stage at night, most are quite good.
20230424_092955.jpg

The famous Amficars, they have quite a few of them.

The "Boat House" restaurant next door.

"Cookes of Dublin" serve the best Fish and Chips in Orlando, shame they don't do Mushy Peas.
20230424_093154.jpg

Lunchtime dining is reasonably priced but Dinner makes your eyes water on "Paddlefish".

Izzy will love this place when we come back later in the year. She is mad on Dinosaurs.

Starbucks aplenty here.
If you like chocolate, and ice cream this is the place.

One of many Disney stores.

That's only a very small selection of what is Disney Springs.

Tony.

Where are all the people?!? Looks like a scene from a movie as everyone is hiding from the…

You can order fish & chips withOUT mushy peas ? 🤣

Looks like lots of choice for food Tony, but it would cost me a fortune. After a week of that I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe of trousers . . .
 
That's why we go then. It was much busier an hour later Dawn.

Tony.

ps. To be fair there were more folk about than it would appear, but by taking your time you could get a clear shot.

Yes, we have Mike. A few years ago, 2016 to be exact, Shirl was quaking in her boots as she hates heights but she did that and the big wheel at Icon park too that year.
Last year she even went on the Disney Gondolas (Sky liner) cos we had Abi, Andy and the boys with us.

Had a visitor to the pool cage just now.

Not sure exactly what bird it is but we see them quite often.

Tony, Google Lens suggests red shouldered hawk ? Looks pretty similar . . .

Use Lens for identifying just about anything, from animals and plants, to translating foreign languages on signs or menu's.

Is it perfect ? No. But it is pretty good . . .

There was a wicked storm came through our area yesterday around 6.00pm as we were having a meal out with some other villa owners.
Someone local put a video on FB showing golfball sized hail trashing their pool screening. We were lucky and only lost one small panel at ground level.
Similar weather pattern for the next few days too.
New pool heater system being installed today so that's put the kybosh on a road trip, again.:(

Think positively: at least it’s not the AC that being replaced!
 
Wouldn't really make much difference Dawn, costs around the same.
