We had more visitors and their adopted elderly dog. It was great to catch up with our friends, but Bluey was not keen on the 14 year old dog called Butch.
Little Leo returned a couple of days later, and Bluey was happy! They chased each other around the house where Leo could duck and weave through chair legs frustrating Bluey. They happily snuggled on the couch.
We have been busy washing the car and caravan, taking the van for a service, and packing for our next trip. Bluey has enjoyed spending time at the river park, while Tilly spent time getting into bags so she won’t be left behind.
This morning we discovered our freezer was not working. We went out for breakfast with our friends before dealing with that problem. Blue sat on Anita’s lap and licked his lips hoping to get a taste of her coffee.
We emptied the freezer and had to throw out some of the food. We ate some defrosted pizza leftovers for dinner, and Anita cooked the once frozen gozlemes and berries. Fortunately we have another fridge downstairs, and Anita had already taken some food out to the Bushtracker freezer. We will have to wait until we return from our trip to South Australia before seeing if the fridge can be repaired.
If the fridge cannot be repaired in situ, we have two problems – getting the old fridge out of the house, and a new one in. To get this fridge upstairs in 2013 we hired a scissor lift to raise it to the height of the upstairs veranda. That option is no longer available as the scissor lift was positioned on the driveway, but we have since built a carport over the driveway. If the fridge is not repairable, it may be possible to strip it down sufficiently to be able to take it down the spiral staircase. Getting a new fridge up will be more challenging.
Depending on the weather we plan to leave on Monday, picking a route to avoid flooded roads.
