Wednesday, 23rd & Thursday 24th March 2022.
We meet a removalist at the containers to get a quote to relocate contents from the containers to the house in the city. Ouch! $$$$$!!
Off to Bunnings for some cardboard boxes to pack up loose things and plastic boxes for clothes.
Spotted some racks for future built-ins.
Now in transit, I squint to look at this guy. He’s got his arm hanging out! Not only dangerous but illegal.
Closer …
…closer …
We pull up at the lights. Now there’s two of them!
The Bunnings brochure on quality western red cedar tool sheds. This one is the flagship. About $2,500 !!! … so we won’t be buying one.
Mick and Lou have arrived from Alice Springs to spend two nights then proceed to Brighton. So we have a fab night at their van park cabin, just a two minute handy walk from our van. Beer, red wine, pasta and red wine … and red wine. A big night for someone (me) on a diet and well out of practice for processing grape juice. I was reminded by my loving spouse in the morning. Quite a few times actually.

Thursday 24th March 2022
Lou is an enthusiastic walker and we have blazed a trail so we take her to our trail and spend the next 45 minutes trying to stay up with her. Everyone does their washing then in the afternoon we …. I was going to say ‘entertain them’ but is was more ‘occupy them’ by taking them to our containers to show them our preparation sorting process.
Then for the ‘highlight’, (?) Harvey Normans to show them our recent sofa bed purchaser. Very zappy and not everyone’s cup of tea. We know that, but at the end of the day, we decided Anne and I were the only ones who had to be happy.
On to the shopping centre. The girls to the supermarket and the boys to Dan Murphy’s. The ladies were waiting for us when we got back. So much to see at Dan’s. A wonderful place full of NICE things.
Now for ‘beer o’clock as we are well past the hour.
Cheese and pate etc …
…. AND we have a taste off, of our Dan’s purchases.
This is my traditional 440ml Guinness can at 4.2% alcohol …
… and Micks Extra Stout Guinness at 6% alcohol.
This is a classic win-win situation in my mind.
We did a classic meat and three with red wine and … red wine, but not as much as last night as I was being more closely supervised.
That’s fair enough as well. Home time and much neater.
