Today, sat outside and watch the surrounding campers and caravanners busy doing all sorts of things. Then made coffee and sat outside some more.
Jules that is exactly what I like to do too.
must make a note to do some more of that. Even at home I can sit on the front verandah and watch the world go by while enjoying a coffee.
top stuff.
say G'day to your offsider from me please.

Will say g'day for you, no probs. Today, I think I will spend some time watching the oil get changed in Micky Micra - sitting in the sun of course, chatting to the neighbours etc. Talking of which, time for a coffee now.
Have a good day one and all!!!

Yesterday Sarj and I went into Blanchetown to pick up my LED lights from Blanchetown before sitting on the lawn by Lock 1 on the Murray River, having a beer and watching all the bird life. Then came home had lunch before changing my lights to LED's ... Wow what a difference. Then a SCAN was in order followed by dinner and some stargazing .. Saw 3 satellites and falling stars ... Great day. Today will probably do nothing before another SCAN this afternoon.
Cheers C

Had four days in Port McQuarrie with some friends, then a couple of days in Coffs Harbour - went up to the lookout - fantastic!!
Travelled on an met up with an old friend on the Tweed Coast - he has not been well, so good to see him back up and about.
Saw my daughter for the first time in a year yesterday - we had a great couple of hours chatting about what has been happening since we last met up.

Had a very busy day today. After leaving Greens last night I headed for Girgarre so I could shower, use the dump point and get some more drinking water. This morning got the Sunday Herald Sun from the Post Office, read for about an hour then headed in to Stanhope for the Sunday Roast at the Bakery, $8.50 if anyone in the area.
Then on to Shepp after catching up with Lynnie at the Mooroopna Market. Did a shop at Aldi and SPC before moving on to near Benalla.
Now to take my camera and a chair down under a tree by the water and wait for the birdlife and wildlife.

All very exciting :)
