Friday 17th April:
Hi everyone well
we have just on 2wks left here at Kallangur before we start the
journey south to Tocumwal deep NSW. We will be there from the 8th May
through until the house sit ends on 24th June. From there we think we
may go through to Myrtleford where we have stayed before it will be
very cold to say the least as it is at the base of the Mt Buffalo, we
have been part way over The Great Alpine Road however wont be doing
it this time somehow as it could have snow on it. There are a couple
of big ski fields there Mt Hotham,and Falls Creek. Last week we went
to see some home-owners at Capalaba which is south of the Gateway,
for a house sit for Christmas/New Year, a nice home older style,air
con, pool, FREE Wi-Fi, 2 small dogs, NO gardening or pool maintenance
this will be taken care of by contractors. The home-owners are
heading back to the UK for the holidays and mainly wanted the animals
looked after. We spent a couple of hours with them, had a good look
through the house, had morning tea and left around midday along with
being asked would we do the house sit for them - like the Optus ad
"we said YES" so feeling really good as that is
Christmas/New Year sorted. We stopped at Nudgee servo, around 1.00 o
clock where we decided we would have a roast lunch and coffee - it
was so yummy I had Beef with roast spuds and pumpkin NO veggies for
me, Brian had the Pork with everything, it is cheap and we could not
buy the roast me for the price they charged, arrived back at Janice
Court around 2.00pm. We need to go out this morning to get the air
con for the car re-checked as when the repairers checked it last time
there was a slight leak which they fixed but it needs to be
re-checked so that we know it is safe, I will wait at my friend
Keryn's while Brian is doing the car then he will call in and pick me
up.The weather is still really good most days the temps are still
around 27-30c which is crazy for April, very little humidity now
though which is great and the evenings are cooler and there is dew on
the grass in the mornings. We wont be wearing shorts and tees for
much longer as when we are heading south we will be into the jeans
and sweaters so probably about day 3-4 of our trip south will see the
shorts and tees put away until next summer. By the way the car is all
good no more leaks in the air con so something else ticked off the
list.
