Thats good news HW!! Won't be long now. Myrtle won't know herself with all the fancy bits you are adding. Should keep her in a good mood for quite a while.

Oh Marj, how wonderful for you!!  Make sure you give her a big hug when you get her home ready to be "tarted up".

Thats great news, with a bit of spit and polish she'll be ready to hit the road again, looking forward to hearing of your next adventure.

Have a few short trips coming up before I can take off anywhere. Bendigo will probably be the first with daughters baby due any day.
Gunbower with camera sometime as soon as I can.
Shepparton to Spotlight to buy new curtains for Myrtle.
Not sure in which order yet.
Daughters dog Diesel is at the vets with a very injured leg, they thought at first he had done his crucial ligament and would need to go to Melbourne for an operation. Since the xtrays it looks like its a different ligament and he is to be put in a closed off area on complete rest while it heals. So he won't be able to go to inlaws when they head to Bendigo Hosp. So I have offered to go around and stay with him overnight if they are going to be away overnight and also if they are away too long. Depending when her hubby can come and go. And how long daughter is in hospital.
Very traumatic day for daughter today. I was more worried she would go into labour being so emotional at the moment.

Congrats on just about getting her back. I do hope it all works out very well for you.

Excellent Marj .. I might yet see myrtle before I head off.

Unfortunately I wasn't much help going out to Gunbower this morning. The conditions simply were not condusive to presenting any report that would support a good area out there for a group gathering.

For those interested .. I went out to Gunbower today to have a look about. Entered the area from the south near the Pub, across the bridge then followed my nose ..

Eventually after about 4-5 kilometres the bitumen changed to gravel and so any attempt to persue further investigation of the area under damp conditions was not practical .. 

so .. anyone that might be able to find the time to look into this (and/or other areas) under dryer conditions would really be supportive .. it's a lot to cover ! .. but we still have a heap of time available.

Yes Jules, I think her pregnancy has changed her attitude quite a bit. Maybe she realises what parenthood is all about now.
Hope it stays that way.
Jon, A pity its so wet at the moment, but it will be fine and dry by November and there are other spots within the same distance eg Green Lake where you've just been staying is the same distance from here and Gunbower in the other direction.
Thanks for joining me for coffee and a nice chat and purchases of our respective carpets at Bunnings.
I was telling daughter about it (your trip to Gunbower) this afternoon and she said maybe if some time over the weekend she, hubby and I go for a drive down there in his Nissan Patrol, I take the camera and we can drive all over the island getting an idea how it all looks. Its her hubby's brother who has the website on it. So we could call in on him and ask questions as well.

Good to hear Myrtle is coming home, she knows you will give her a polish and face lift

Oh, how exciting Beth. Now Lulu is yours you can do what ever you want with her. Of course change the bedspread, you wouldn't want to use someones else anyway.
I had to take everything out for this motor business so will be able to pack Myrtle back up again with all the stuff lying around here.

Everything good is worth waiting for HW. It's exciting! Poor Myrtle will really know she's loved when you get going on the reno's. Perhaps a pat on the back BUMper will help her along.
You have some exciting activities coming up in your family.
All the best and I hope all goes well for everybody.

Oh Marj .. is nothing sacred .. heh

what Marj is saying folks, is that I woke to find a mouse in my mobile house the other morning .. It was still there yesterday, so one of us had to go ..

Very hungry little thing it was too .. and would show itself quickly to look for food ..  so .. with much patience I waited .. and waited .. then out came the mouse .. made its way to the kitchen area where I had left the door open .. it slowly worked its way down the steps sniffing as it went .. then with the speed of gazelle, I threw a towel at it to stop from scurrying back inside to the safety of it's mobile mouse-hole ..

It took shelter under the towel in the stairwell .. then slowly .. ever so slowly, I eased myself forward and, clutching the towel and contents in one bundle, threw it all out the door ..

"Little Sqeak" was last seen busily carrying out a 4.5 inward pike with a radical twist .. then to disappear in the darkness ..

.. neither the mouse nor I were hurt in the vicious encounter .. but I'll know him if I see him again !

Yes Jon, I would'nt give up te security patrol just yet.

Marj...what great news....

You must be so excited about picking up Myrtle tomorrow.

Have fun freshening her up and getting her ready to hit the road again.

Cheers. Pam.

Jon....

Looks like you'll be sleeping with one eye open "just in case" eh!!

Hope your mouse was a solo traveller.

Cheers. Pam.
