Tuesday...3 May 2011

Still here. Weather during the day is warm and sunny. Cools down rapidly once the sun sets but so far we have managed to keep warm overnight.  It really is lovely weather during the day. Clear blue skies and some real warmth in the sun.  I really enjoy sitting outside the caravan just soaking up the warmth.
Yesterday I went to see BB with laptop in hand and we spent the afternoon looking at pics of my trip and the family.
Today Himself is off fixing the lean on dear old dad and his parents at the local cemetry. My sister and I feel we are very lucky to have him to do this for us. Neither of us has the strength to lift heavy slabs of concrete and complete the necessary earthworks while balancing the slab! Big thank you from both of us.
I have been entertaining again today. Some more locals I know popped in to say hello and look at the caravan. These people went over the top and through Karajini on their last lap of Australia a couple of years ago. Much to talk about.
Some of our chat was about the funny things we have seen on the road. We agreed that once you think you have packed for a trip the last thing into the bagagge should be your sense of humor. Definately cannot leave  home without it! Us girls talked about meeting other ladies in the shower blocks of caravan parks at 6.00am applying their make-up and blow drying their hair, in their immaculately ironed 'just so' clothes! Wonder what part of Camping 101 they missed......
Meanwhile their men are making mugs of themselves posturing and posing while hitching up for the day, usually not very successfully!!! Might start making rough notes, there must be a book hidden somewhere in their behaviour.
(Yes, yes I would include our own faux pas)
Himself was in Shepparton yesterday and got me some more pics of the cows which are all over public gardens in both Shepparton and Mooroopna. The Jelly Bean cow was in Mooroopna. Here are a couple of the Shepparton ones. They are certainly eye catching.
