14 February 2012

I know I already posted on this date, I am NOT having a meltdown, look at the time lines and you will see that the earlier post was really about yesterday.
Today we slept late, so nice to be out in the country with the country peace and quiet versus the constant air traffic at the last stop, then did as little as  possible for the morning followed by a trip to the local shops around lunchtime to find food, I had lasagne, Himself of course had fish and chips, then it was into some serious shopping. My favourite store was having a nothing over $20 sale so bought a couple of tops then we raided the grocery store. Seems someone (me) did not look when turning the fridge back on after our travels yesterday and hit the wrong button which means it did not actually turn on but instead spent all day yesterday and most of last night turned off! Bugger! Found it totally defrosted and all the food at room temperature at 3.00am when I opened it for a cold drink. Huge donation to the rubbish bins this morning and a trip to the shops to restock the blessed thing. Lesson learned. Do not allow oneself to be distracted when breaking camp and double check everything when  making camp at the next stop. Much more of this can become expensive!!!
Over the fence beside our camp we have two bull arab dogs, a shetland pony and assorted chooks. Up above us in the very very shady trees we have so far seen assorted warblers and parrots. On the way to the rubbish bin this morning I was bitten in broad daylight by at least 5 mosquitos. The blurb from the office suggests we watch where we walk during summer as the local wildlife includes bandicoots and dugites and tigers....    An interesting assortment. Guess we is genuinely out of the city limits now.
