T'was ever thus. When the cat is away, the mouse comes out to play. Yes indeedy. Mrs Hicks has just signed a contract for a new kitchen at chez nous. Megabucks. It's going to be ivory. Now isn't that just dandy."Wonderful darling....yes I will stay away until the job is finished."
Am spending the night in a Murray River side cabin in a caravan park at Riverdale, Victoria....don't ask. Been to the doctor's to get a prescription for drugs to treat cracked lips and cough, Back in NSW tomorrow for the trek along the Sturt High to Wagga Wagga ( Wogga to Aussies). Only going there to send a card to a friend!!The 'bent' has planned my route thereon to Sydney....only 950 kms to go.
Weather turning hot...down to just one layer. Early spring downunder but cold front threatens to wreck Sunday. Might hold up in Balranald.
The most frightening part of the trip so far was 50 kms from Mildura I came under a fierce assault by two frenzied black and white aerial assailants. The dirty cowards came in from the rear with the sun behind. Yep...a magpie attack. They have started nesting and I was a potential threat. On each high speed swoop they pecked at my blue helmet, sending me swerving all over the place and flapping my arms stupidly. I had visions of getting peck stabbed in the back of the neck and left to bleed to death or veer off into the path of an Aussie truckie. In the end I stopped and shouted at them. They just went and sat in the nearest tree....great fun.

Good on ya Dora!!!! A new kitchen is the least he could do. John, it is a small price for the oodles of enjoyment that you have been having. Although I reckon you could bargain for brownie points for you next trip (or maybe that's the trip home). Take care T.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell Dora how popular she is by making even poorer! Getting closer to Sydney...will take a day off in Wagga Wagga before the trip into Sydney. Got slaughtered today by 60 kms of headwinds.....Cheers John
