Hi Dot remember that 40% of men are colour blind on Red, Green and Brown including me and your little speech was a bit of a blur.

Glad you are home safe and sound, will miss Helen as she is in Brisbane heading to Blackbutt. Cheers Robert

Welcome back Dot xxxx

You may remember that we have been away for the weekend (and a bit). Turned out that the site that the caravan park had sent us to originally, had a huge water pipe broken under it. The plumber had to come out on Saturday to fix it. We were lucky that we asked to be moved off that site. It would have been a need to move for the plumbers. Each night, the group managed to have a firepit and warmish times. As soon as we got back to the van it was instantly cold (even with the heater turned on). I was so drugged up with antihistamines and frozen as well, so the computer stayed in it's bag.

We had a lovely weekend with varied forms of freezing weather. It rained some mornings and Friday night was huge storms with extra heavy rain. Was a good time to check all the ceiling joins in the van for any leaks. Passed with flying colours. The noise was horrible and it was good to know that it was all outside. The lightning was right on top of us for a while, so the noise was a bit loud too.

To leave the park, we had to have the lovely tractor man get us out from under the trees. The whole park was designed when vans were much smaller and draw bars were shorter. There was no way that we could have got off that site without some collateral damage. Tractor man had to have several goes at getting the van in the right angle to get back onto the road. It's always been nice to go to anywhere in Nelson Bay, this trip we have decided that we are over the place. Too much high rise buildings, the streets have been made one way in the main town, to allow for angled parking that has meters on everywhere. We will return with our club to various parks in the Bay, but probably not to Middle Rock where we stayed this time.

Trip down the highway was quick and we were home in no time.

Deborah you should know not to park under trees. Did the tractor driver charge for the rescues? Q/ you know those tart pie shells from supermarkets? do you just use then as is or do you have to cook them first? (asking for a friend) Thought I might have a go at doing a lemon tart as heaps of lemons again. Watching the boys on bikes, how on earth do they ride up those hills? How is Shirley doing with the canoe and bowls? Heading to physio tomorrow so may come home the back way and scab some wood from off the side of the road. Was told that rock spider Rolf Harris snuffed off, if so I say about time and if not then I say hurry up, another mate for pell. So right now it is time for a shower and then bed. Take care everyone, stay safe on the roads and the sickies all get well soon. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Terry & Margaret x

Been out of action 2 weeks Dot, wasn’t well with flu beginning of week, didn’t improve tested 3 days for Covid all negative on the Sunday night I tested Positive to Covid, rang Dr Monday morning & he sent me a script for the antiviral medication 4 capsules 12 hours apart for 5 days, I’m still far from feeling 100% & this is the 3rd week, no bowls or paddling, just been resting, trying to get better. I had the flu shot about 2 mths ago but haven’t had the 5th Covid jab, I was feeling really, really unwell.

Goodnight everyone.

Correct Dot, should never park under trees, but that was the only space left for us to go. The tv wasn't too happy either. The tart shells are already cooked and ready for filling. Cheats cheese cake, lots of lemon juice (2 lemons is good) and a tin of condensed milk. Stir together and pour into pastry shell. Leave in fridge for a couple of hours and all good to go.

Shirley, that's not sounding too good. Hope you are back running on all cylinders soon. The lake looked so much like a mirror today, that if it wasn't so cold, I would have had the kayak out. Take care and get rested. xxx

Finally have the heater problem sorted-ish. I have ordered a replacement heater, will have to go to North Rocks in Sydney to collect it, once it arrives there and our plumber/gas man will fit it as soon as he can. Maybe another fortnight, then the weather will turn nice again......

I have been on the phone for most of the day trying to get quotes/advice and the decision has been made. It would have been better if our plumber had suggested this way to go, last August when he came to call originally and we would have been sorted by now. He was just being a coward and not telling us to buy a new one. It is 15 years old, can't expect them to last forever.

sweet dreams out there xxx
