Stayed in caravan park near Adelaide for 3 nights leave tomorrow to go free camping. So exciting for me, feels different this trip, hard to explain.......... It took me 13 day's to go from Shep to Adelaide. New saying for me this year is... "stop to smell the roses" from a happy little camper yawnyawn Feeling grateful for my life.

Crikey Patti that was a quick drive to Adelaide we are still trying to get to Penong as we have been Zig Zagging our way across Vic since we left Greens Lake on the 21st of March and currently in Horsham. But we did have to stay a bit longer in Horsham as the 12 yr old Convection/Microwave carked it, so we ordered a new 30 litre Smev Gas Oven to fit directly under the Smev Gas Hob. WOW the pumpkin scones etc are great, better than standing in the cold with Mr Weber but still use him for the BBQing. Gee it was expensive camped here at the Greyhound Racing Club

at $10/N or $50/week with power/water and amenities. ( smile  winner.gif  thumbsup.gif ).

We were ready to leave after that when the Truma Hot Water System started to leak. I phoned Dometic and the New warranty replacement arrived 3 days later. I fitted it on Saturday 16th and all is OK now. We will be heading off Saturday or Sunday for  Cherrypool-Cavendish-Rocklands Reservoir-Balmoral then up to Lake Ratzcastle near Kangawall then back down to Penong in SA. 

We caught with an older couple from Fremantle, we met back in 2011 in Cooma NSW here in Horsham.

We hope you get through the not being able to sleep and I am sure that the Hottie has gotta be MILLIE!!. but I could be wrong.

We will contact you when we get to SA.

Cheers Kev/Kim.

"Ho****er bottle".

I really can't believe this one.  Couldn't the censor just have put a space between the "T" and the "W" ?

 I don't think it's up to the sensor Sheba, it's up to the writer. Hot water bottle.

The writer might not have been aware that there was any possibly offensive word included there Marj.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Same thing happens with the maker of those water filters we have on the taps, Gayle - Best water (no space between the words). But you'd think the censor would search for stand-alone words, not a supposedly offensive string of letters contained within a valid word.

Cheers
Joe

When I talked about my hot water bottle didn't think it would get so much talked about, good old hot water bottle isn't needed at the moment, nights warm as. Happy about that.
