A Day of Rest

Well we haven't travelled far today but have met up with friends Laurie and Timmy and Annie and Skye. I think Timmy recognised me and jumped all over me, but maybe he is that friendly with everyone he meets. Had Buffalo Pie for lunch at one of Laurie's favourite eating places, it sure pays to have someone with local knowledge.

Laurie very generously lent us her car to run into town to stock up, not with fruit and veggies though as we cannot take them to Tassie. This is the first time we have met Annie in person, although we felt we knew her through the club forum, what a lovely person. Laurie's new rig is just great and I tried to get her to accept a Coaster as a trade in but no luck. I'm sure she is going to be very happy with it.

We have decided to have another rest day here tomorrow and do the run into Melbourne on Sunday morning.

Alan is having some troubles with the Hyundai he is towing with the battery going flat and today he had another auto electrician look at it. Discover he had a broken brake switch on the pedal causing some problems and effective having no brake lights while driving it but they still work while it is being towed.. We decided to take it off the trailer to run in to Shepparton to try and get a new switch but while the switch is broken the car cannot be put out of "park" effectively making it impossible to get it off the trailer. Life wasn't meant to be easy!

While we were sitting outside tonight just on dusk two possums  just came strolling by no more than a  couple of meters away from us, Apparently some of the people here feed them and they are quite tame.
