What have you been doing today?

Marina, have a great time and enjoy wearing your new purchases.
I ordered 2 down puffer jackets from NZ. Moke. Great for Ballarat weather. One is an over shirt. Not as bulky but very warm. The other is a vest. I’m now covered for all contingencies.

Have a great time Marina, there’s nothing like a break from work. Take care.

Enjoy your break Marina.
Mab, it is hard to make the decision for an operation.  Hopefully it will fix your problems and you can tuck into the same foods everyone else eats. Take care.

Chookie we are loving the motorhome. On Thursday evening it rained a bit and we found water on the top of a couple of cupboards. It’s the first rain we’ve had since having it. We couldn’t figure out where it was getting in. It’s rained again today and we now realise that 2 windows are leaking. We aren’t very happy.  Such an expensive thing and the windows leak.  We will have to chase them up Monday morning.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.  We head off in a couple of hours then 40 hours travel, door to door, to Turino in northern Italy.  1 week there then on to Cremona (of course - the violin maker's dream town!), Milan and Switzerland, via the scenic Bernina Express train through the alps and 4 days at a friend's house on one of the Swiss lakes before the 30 hour trek back home!  I nearly blew my 7 kg carry on limit, but just scraped in (we always go with carry on luggage only, it really is so much easier and more convenient when travelling a lot from place to place - you just have to do the laundry more often).

Enjoy your trip to NZ Chookie.  It is a stunningly beautiful country and I know you will love it.  It has changed a lot since I lived there and I don't know if I could go back again for any length of time - not many people I know are left now.
