Opening up the kombi this morning to start unpacking.
I cracked open the slider to be greeted by that wonderful, campfire smoke impregnated aroma inside
….took me straight back to Old Bar, sitting around the fire with a few beverages of choice talking 5hit with friends…..made me very happy !
Cheers,
Mark

Working with Scotty at Melissa’s on sorting a few jobs with various kombis, undercover while the rain poured down. Not everyone’s idea of fun on holiday but was actually good to just get my hands dirty in a different place, on some different vans.

What made me happy? The fabulous response of our emergency services - SES, Police, Fire Brigade, RFS, Ambulance.
Not so much as to why they were there though.
My driveway. The driver apologised for parking in the driveway. I said "Stay all night if you like". He said, after seeing Kit barking his head off "I love dogs"
and out the front...
The Story...

I didn’t expect an answer, because I spoke in Spaniel, which is understood only by spaniels.

I think another 'copter crash in Sydney was due to an eagle. It wouldn't surprise me as there are lots of Wedge Tails and White Bellies around here. If you do hear anything let me know.
It was a bizarre experience. We were both working in the office and heard a noise that sounded like a truck pulling up in our driveway and dumping a ton bricks.
Turned out not to be the case!
