Sunday....20 June

Hmmmm, who thought today was gonna be a rest day? Silly me. Up early and packed the van because it needs to be moved to allow the final clean up of the you beaut new shed. Rushed around and did the general laundy, got out the sewing machine and sewed and sewed and sewed some more making three tubes and three pouches for rods and reels over three long hours at the machine picking and unpicking as needed until an idea turned into a reality. In between helped and gave encouragement to hostess who is trying to tidy up and cook for guests invited to roast lamb in the webber dinner with dessert of home made pavlova.  All this done to the echoing sound of a angle grinder cutting long lengths of roofing tin to fit the trailer for trip to the tip, which did not happen, a V8 car race beats a trip to the tip any old day!! However even car races come to and end eventually and back to work for the lads.Sewing finished it is time to take the washing off the line so that the initially smoky webber can be set to hotting up for the dinner to cook. Did that and headed to the caravan with the clean washing, only to see it disappear down the drive. After staying out of it all day when I finally do need to re enter it the boys got around to moving things. Grrrrrr.  Half an hour later the caravan that the shed was built for is finally resting in the shed and our caravan is back in the drive and back on its chocks.  Was still putting things back to rights when the dinner guests arrived. Dinner was wonderful with good food and good company, many laughs, and much story telling. I think one of the best parts of the great trek will be meeting new people and hearing their stories. No time to walk to the lookout today. Am hopeful of getting there tomorrow...(Happy birthday Murray)
