Narrabri day two

Day two was a long one 

We hit the road at around 7.30. Stopped for fuel and something to eat at Dubbo 

And continued onto Narrabri 

We pulled into the caravan park around five in the afternoon 

After setting up. We hit the pool. It’s been so hot today. 

We hit a hi of 42 degrees Celsius. The heat coming in from the car windows was intense 

You couldn’t touch them! 

The poor air con in the car was trying really hard to keep us cool. But the radiant heat coming off the windows was still

Temp up. 

So jumping into the pool was bliss 

I totally forget to get pics. So these are ones I took from their web site 

Tomorrow we head into caloundra. 

And I’ll be swimming at the beach! 

I hope to come home with a lovely tan. But not get burnt! 

So far the trip has been nice and easy. Hubby and I are listening to an audio book in the car 

It’s what we do when traveling around Australia as you don’t always get radio reception. And music gets a little monotonous 

Hope the weather is nice where you are 

Next stop Queensland

Jerilderie day one

 

Day one 

We left Home around one in the afternoon.  We still made good time and have stopped at Jerilderie for the night 

It’s pretty hot here. And it’s coming to get hotter as we head north

Luckily we have air con in the car. 

And in our van! 

Camping in a caravan park with power does have its advantages 

We have had our dinner and soon I’ll shower and go to bed 

A huge day tomorrow 

Have fun everyone 

I hope to update again tomorrow night 

See ya xxx

Getting ready

Here is the new off road van 

It’s going on it’s first long trip 

The couple we went camping with last year have also purchased a new van and they need to collect it from 

Caloundra in Queensland 

So we are all heading off around lunchtime tomorrow to go and get it 

We are the support crew. As they won’t have their van for the trip up. We will use ours for food and cooking paraphernalia 

They have a double swag to sleep in until they pick up their new home on wheels 

Just a short trip, two weeks, but it will be fun 

My wonderful son will take care of everything here 

As we will be close to civilisation I should be able to keep blogging 

So come for the ride, you  never know what we will encounter!

A busy weekend

Mum and dad are off to Canberra for a wedding this weekend. So I came to stay with grandma and grandpa 

I was dropped off on Thursday morning and have made new friends already. 

Grandma has two new kittens. And we all are th best of friends 

I’ve been building with giant Lego blocks with grandpa 

But the best part is when it’s done I knock it over and we start again 

But sometimes I just chill and watch some TV 

I’ve kept my grandma so very busy. She is tried but as she loves me so much she doesn’t mind 

I’m such a good girl. I sleep 12 hours a night so she at least gets a good nights sleep 

I’ll be going home on Sunday night 

So still lots of time to play and have fun

We hope you have fun this weekend too

See ya xx

Australia Day long weekend

Good morning to all 

It’s Sunday of the Australia Day long weekend 

Just like everything in the world today. Our nations birthday has become very political and contraversial

I choose not to get involved  

I just don’t have the extra emotional supplies to deal with it all 

So having said that 

I spent the day in bed.  It was hot and muggy and I was dealing with the worst migraine 

That I have had in a long time. 

Fighting off nausea isn’t a great way to spend the day 

Saturday dawned and I felt better. Although hung over even though I had not gone out partying 

Hubby went to our camping friends house to work out the best way to load the 4wheeler for when we go on our mid winter break 

I decided to go with him, as if I felt ill I could just as easily lay on their couch as my own 

As he had to tow our caravan to make sure the weight wasn’t going to exceed the cars capabilities, it was decided to just stay here and spend the night 

He wanted to have a few drinks with dinner and I can’t tow 

So I am currently laying in our caravan typing this 

He is snoring next to me! 

I’ll get up and get dressed and go into the house soon 

Our friends, chris and Jody, are early rises like me 

Just like when we camp.  

Only here we have power and the air con going! 

A bonus I think lol 

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

The boys

Living on a farmlet You have to deal with lots of vermin 

In previous years we used to have farm cats 

Three at one stage and I didn’t have to worry about mice and rats and rabbits digging up my gardens 

Then I had indoor only cats 

Sounds nice. But outside OMG 

WE HAVE HAD RATS

Now the rabbits and mice were a massive pain 

But when I saw the rats. As big as the rabbits I said. Enough!

Enter these two cuties 

They will be my outside, living in the back with the dogs, or in the big shed 

Where ever they like 

Meet Sam and Dean hunters of vermin 

Here they are on th first day. I got them a week ago 

Sam is the grey fluffy one and dean is the black and white 

If you have ever seen supernatural the series you will know how they got their names 

They have spent their time between here, 

My bedroom and bathroom 

And the last few days, as it’s been so hot, in the spare room 

But they love it here! 

They also have bonded with the dogs and as you can see Teddy won’t leave them at all! 

I’ll slowly let them out to play with the dogs under supervision and then lock them back up 

Until they are a few months older 

I wasn’t going to blog about them. I’m nervous of all the back lash of having cats outside 

But if you have ever lived on acreage you  would know just big the problem is 

So there you are 

These two will have to take over from Buffy the rabbit slayer 

She has some mighty big paws to fill 

But having seen how they stalked my chickens I’m sure they will be fine 

My chickens will peck them while they are small and this seems to teach them not to mess with birds 

Buffy never brought home a dead bird 

So this is a good thing 

How bad is the vermin plague at your place? 

See ya xx

A lovely day

Today the weather is sunny with a wonderful cool breeze 

It’s perfect for drying the linen! 

Nothing better in my book. Fresh sheets straight off the clothes line 

You can smell the sunshine

It’s days like today that make you happy and thankful 

I do hope it continues 

How’s the weather at your place? 

See ya xx
