Since being at home we have been busy washing clothes and bedding from the caravan, catching up with mail, making bookings for our trip to Europe, and doing various other jobs around the house.
Weeds thrived in the rain and sunshine, so we tackled them today, pulling some out and hopefully killing the rest with salt and vinegar.
A plumber is due next week to repair a toilet cistern and replace stopcocks and hoses that are 25 years old. When I turned off the tap for the faulty toilet, water dripped onto the floor. Fortunately when I turned the water on again, the dripping stopped!
Our electrician will come to sort out a couple of issues with lights, and we are trying to get our security cameras back online.
The car is being serviced next week and we have accepted a quote to repair the dent caused by a shopping trolley.
Getting things done to the Bushtracker is more challenging. After being woken at 3.30 am by a man complaining about our noisy diesel heater, we decided to get that checked out. We booked the van in to the nearest authorised service centre which is in Brisbane.
Bluey and Tilly have chased each other and played every day. He has caught up with his friends. Yesterday this swan chased a dog that got too close, but when Bluey approached slowly from behind, the swan took off.
There has been no rain here since we have been home. There have been interesting cloud formations and sunsets. One morning we had to be up very early to book excursions on one of our cruises, so I have seen one sunrise.
When we finally got back into planning and booking our overseas trip, we were surprised to find we cannot travel on Eurostar on the day we wanted in November as it fully booked for that day. We had to make a couple of changes to our itinerary to work around this hiccup.
