Ok so the neurosurgeon finally gave Himself permission to hit the road again after being a very good boy for the last six weeks following his unexpected neck operation. Near drove himself and everyone around him to distraction not being allowed to do anything but sit or walk so he walked and walked and walked some more. Everyone in the caravan park knew us by first names and bless them they always asked how his progress was going. Residents and staff alike. Lovely people, very caring and a huge support to both of us. Note to others do not blow out discs in your neck. Not a fun idea (it hurts lots but the drugs are good!!!). Huge sigh of relief that he can still walk and talk and so forth.
So today we moved for the first time in months and can finally get on with the very flexible plans we had made for ourselves for this coming year. The year is damn near over but Himself says watch this space and  try to keep up folks.

Went to bingo tonight and managed to win twice and even picked up a bottle of wine in the raffle! Go me....It was a nice farewell present as we are back on the road tomorrow.
Was planning to visit Himself's aunt in Kalgoorlie, but bless her she went to Turkey and did the dawn service at Gallipoli! She is not due home until later in May so we will have to try to catch up to her next time we come to WA.
In the meantime we will be heading eastward across the Nullabor at a nice steady pace maybe even stopping out there just to appreciate the silence.
Will post when we have reception so expect things to be a bit hit and miss for a couple of weeks.

Anzac Day. Lest We Forget.

Moving day on Saturday, getting excited.
The weather forecast is for rain. Oh the joy of packing and moving in the rain when you live in a caravan!

Dear Blog
Have not forgotten you, there just isn't anything to tell.
Mind you I must admit I am getting a little bored with this staying in one place for so long. Never mind we should be moving again very soon and then perhaps there will be lots to talk about again.
Keep meaning to put a notebook into the car. We often pass things that I think to myself would make a good subject for a blog entry then by the time we stop for the day I have forgotten what it was I was going to write about. I wonder if my age is beginning to tell!!!

While I think to mention it, some of the kids had the first year of this blog turned into a nice little book as a Christmas present for us last year. It included the photos and all my spelling mistakes! We were very surprised to get it and we think it is rather special and I believe that the second year of our travels (2011) is being prepared for printing too.

Still parked up.  Will probably make a move towards the end of the month unless we find reasons not to!
