Woohoo – we have the Cruiser back!!!!

 

The morning started off well, and then got better.

We had made an appointment with Tow-Safe to come and do a service on Big Bird.  He arrived after lunch, and checked her out.  She’s in good nick, except for a hairline crack in something to do with the suspension??.  Rick tried to explain it to me, it needs a bit a welding, and I thought – OK nice, let’s just get it done!!

And then – Gregg from Toyota rang – the Cruiser could be picked up after 16:30 today.  HOORAAY!!!!

So, now, I’m finishing off the Lamb Shanks in Herb & Garlic Sauce and preparing the Potato Mash to go with it, while Rick has gone to collect the car.

All is well!!  The car is back, dinner (with a couple of red wines) is great and now the Cheese & Biccies and Port calls.

Also, we’ve been looking at doing house-sitting, and we are on the short-list for a person in Ballajura, about 14km north of Perth.  They are looking for some-one starting 19 July (and that will be 2 years exactly since we retired - 2007) for approx. 4 weeks.  And then possible some time in October as well, when they go overseas.  Looking after the house as well as the dogs.  Lovely.
