Looks like an idyllic site, Cookie.  Love the tiny van, you would have to keep everything very compact to fit in.

That's a cute van cookie enjoy you time away.
After running around sorting my car out. I decided to do my shopping online. Being delivered early tomorrow morning. I've never used wollies before.
Just about finished work for the afternoon I think I might have a quick swim before DH and I go out for dinner. We were given a scopon voucher for Xmas take this long to get a booking.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Love the van and camping spot cookie, did you take the TMX? It's much bigger than the teardrop van your DH made isn't it?

Great option Jenny, in your heat it's easier to let someone else do the shopping for you.  I've only used home deliveries when I was tied to the house when DH was home - I'd rather not ask friends or neighbours to do my shopping for me.

I love online shopping Jen  :D

Today I cleaned out the pantry and reorganised it again - still have the top three shelves to do, but they can wait  ;D
have a benchtop covered with canned food, that has probably been sitting there since I got my TMs  :P :-[
possibly some interesting meals coming up over the next few days!  :-))
:D

We didn't bring the thermomix with us as we're only away for a few days. Very basic camping being done this time.
As dusk arrived heaps more kangaroos came in to eat the grass here. Quite amazing really. It would be wonderful for overseas people to camp in here.

Cookie, love those A Vans. They are so well designed.  Enjoy your break.
More cleaning and packing. Slowly does it. We have been so lucky that the weather hasn't been too warm.

That looks good Astarra. I bought a Dyson a year or so ago so I mustn't look.

We drove on to Albany yesterday. We were going to stop in Walpole but they had millions of March flies too and they love biting us. It's not hot at all here, very nice really. Quite humid but I think that may be Albany's weather most of the year. Home tomorrow.

It's very humid here today give me 40 degree dry heat any day
Was planning on cooking but my freezer decided to go haywire defrosts then refreezes and it's all to do with the icemaker leaking water into the fan easy fix and not expensive so shouldn't complain but now I have a messy kitchen after he blew air into the back of the compressor and there's dust /dirt everywhere
Drive safely home cookie xx

Those A Vans are cute, but we have a Jayco Eagle that we love. I wish we'd gotten a Swan, it's just got a tiny amount of extra space inside. I love the way we can open it right up to get fresh air in.

We have a Jayco Pop Top too Sarah. This tiny one is for taking on dirt tracks hunting wildflowers and similar things. We're trying it out as we haven't used it before. We love the big Jayco. It is so cool with a pop top and we have a shower and toilet in it. Perfect for Grey Nomads like us.

We have spent today exploring Albany. The entrance to Princess Royal Harbour is very beautiful. A lot of the Anzacs left from here in November 1914.
