Big Day

Well, Im stuffed. The day started with Bec saying she'll be down to help me move some stuff out of the garage. We then proceeded to empty the lot, sweep it, bring Mum's car in to vacuum while I washed Dad's, then moved Mum's out to vacuum Dad's which I helped with before washing Mum's, bathed Annie, dismantled the trampolines, bagged Nathaniel, cleaned the house, moved all my stuff up to the shed AND Bec left FB logged on!!!!!! So of course i hijacked it which was freaking funny coz she usually does it to mine :) Got lots of stuff done but then it poured down and the creek flooded so Bec couldn't go and get Mum and Dad, who are due back after 6 1/2 weeks in Africa. So they're spending tonight in a hotel and hopefully we can get out tomorrow. Sarah has a vet appointment coz she got her foot caught in a dingo trap on Friday (serves her right for roaming) but I want to make sure its not too bad. Anyway I need to go hang up washing now.

Humphrey

I get my car back today! HOORAY!!! Its been a funny few days.

Ive dropped the car off to be fixed, put together 3 wagons, weeded a quarter of the veggie patch, went to church on Sunday, took Jase to the airport in Brisbane on Monday, saw Gaz the tattooist and had a chat while he tattooed someone (very cool) and in amongst all that, I talked to Steve 3 times in one day coz I didnt speak to him for ages while he was off hunting. Also went shopping and got 4 seasons of Numbers for $20 each!!! (That's impressive because its usually $62 for one)

I also facilitated Bec getting her keys back from Michael through Facebook. Ok I'm off again.

Later,
Rach

THE ROAD IS DRIVEABLE!!

We can now bring our cars home. Its awesome! Saw Dad down at Nathaniel's and he asked if I wanted to drive home. Im so used to leaving my car there that for a minute I thought he meant I could drive his . . YAY! Anyway I drove my car all the way to the house . . the first time in 2 months.
Dad said to keep an eye out for a really big snake that was on the road but we didnt see it. It turned out that it had crawled away before we got there :( ok I'm off again.

Poor Humphrey

Humphrey is my car. . And she's a girl. She came with the name and we liked it so we kept it. Humphrey is 17 years old and we're on the second motor that I'm aware of. She was starting to make some funny noises so I took her to the mechanic. Its going to cost a fair bit to fix her but I think she's worth it. That car should not even be going but its like I keep telling people, as long as I love her she will carry on. I've had an accident, been backed into, made countless trips around town with all of Nesha's friends in it, multiple trips from Gladstone to Gympie and back and even been bogged a couple of times. She's got dents, dings, cracks, paint missing, torn upholstery, mud everywhere, oil leaks and the stereo doesnt work properly but she still goes. Im thinking about doing her up a little, new paint job etc. She deserves it :) We love Humphrey!!

My New Blog

Yay!! I have a blog :) Bec's sitting beside me teaching me how this thing works. She was complaining because I hadn't written anything yet but I explained that this is my life . . . . . a blank page. Anyway, this is for Nesha and I so we'll be taking turns. Later
