Failed Trip


On Friday we planned to go away for a few days this coming week but yesterday, when we started to prepare for the trip, the 4WD wouldn't start. The RACQ couldn't get it going either so it's to be towed to the workshop on Monday. The consensus view is that the computer is sending an error message to the motor. We were very philosophical about it all; eg lucky it didn't happen while we were away because we do like to camp in remote places.
I took this photo when we were away last month because I loved the colours of the lake - and no other people!

So, the 'to do' lists had to be rewritten. (We are great list writers!) I was a bit too grumpy to be creative so didn't start work on my new bag. (The pattern arrived on Friday.) However I did sort through some "stuff" (thanks for the motivation Di) and will soon have another box ready to take to Lifeline. We have so many things that we don't use - and are unlikely to - and it makes me feel good to clear the clutter every so often. (I can't claim to be motivated by philanthropy.)

Eeek! Just as well yo7u weren't in the middle of nowhere (With no phone coverage) when it happened! Hope it's fixed and you get to go somewhere pretty a relaxing soon....
