Repairs in Albany…

We landed into Albany a couple of days ago.  And while we’ve been here, we’ve been trying to organize repairs.  Funny, how things just fall apart like that.  Our hot water system took a dive.  It was leaking water and the heater wasn’t working.  Chris has now fixed that and we’ll have HOT showers this morning. Yeah!

Col’s Scout too, has a problem.  He’s pulled his transfer case apart and is waiting on a part to be sent.  So the poor ol’ Scout is up on the blocks, waiting.  And yesterday while Margaret was working out how to transfer her photos across to her external hard drive, it too, wouldn’t work.  So that will have to have a computer “guru’s” touch.

And we’ve stocked up, washed up, and  now we’re waiting.  No sight seeing for the moment.  So rest is the requirement for the last couple of days.

And I laugh because we were expecting torrential rains and winds, and so far, we’ve had a spit of rain and no winds.  Especially since Brisbane and the Gold Coast are getting deluges and flooding, by the reports in the news.  We’ve been very fortunate with the weather during our trip. (knock on wood!!!)

In the meantime, we’ll potsy around here for a little while longer.  I could not think of a better place to land.  Albany is beautiful.  For me, it’s got everything.  A cool climate, trees that turn colour in the Fall, and it’s right on the ocean! 

Anyway, once we start sight-seeing again, the pictures will start coming.  I might even throw a fishing line in while we wait.
