Friday...8 July 2011

Got to Townsville on Wednesday afternoon, long drive. Only 400kms but in traffic with lots of roadworks and minor hold ups. Was fairly tired when we finally got here.
Small problem with the caravan. One of the slides does not want to work. Himself has crawled underneath and says a bracket that holds the sliding mechanism has bent somehow. He took it off and we took it into town and he used a vice at my nephews place to straighten it out so here is hoping that when he puts it all back together today we have a working slide. If not then I guess we will end up staying here longer than expected while we get it fixed.
Saw my sister yesterday and for an  83yo who has had major surgery recently she is looking remarkably well. Very fit and active too, and sharp as a tack. Lovely to see her and chat over a pot of tea.  She always tells me I look like our dear departed father, which I like hearing.
We are staying out of town a bit at a rodeo ground. Very country. Nice and quiet and lots of space and very few rules. Has all the amenities but none of the politics of caravan parks. Most relaxing.
