Takin' off the auld hikin' boots.

Yes, that's right.
We've settled down for a fortnight or so. It'll be nice to have a base again, nice to get back on the road after it all too.
We're all pretty much wrecked after all the travel, surf, binge drinking, and general Tom foolery.
The money is reeeeaaallly gone this time, so I'm looking for a job.
I forgot to say we almost ran over a Koala, he was so chillaxed! Just crossing the road at his own leisure as Terence hurtled towards him, with his jowls a quiver. We got out and took some photos with him. Nice guy actually, from Australia orginally. Still there.
Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnyway, we're about an hour north of Melbourne (two and half hours on Terence-time) In Rob and Jackies home house. For all who read this in non-numerical order, and for those who do, but havn't clciked who they are, these fione names belong to Smeels cousins. That's right!
Sometimes...........just sometimes............... I do what I want.
So far the TV has been the main attraction, followed closely by the fridge, and possibly the real beds. I don't have one of these myself, but jsut to know they are there, is enough.
I opened the non-working fridge in Terence during my clean-out of him this morning.... veg, veg from Adelaide. Och no it was bad. Like a big, black, hairy football.
We spent last week down in Portsea, a wee village for the super-rich Melbournians to retreat south to. Good surf, a little to good perhaps!
Thanks to Smeels and her generous greater family, I am now back addicted to tea. 8 cups this morning! I hold them very high for that.
Making tea on the road was to hard, and paying 3.50 for it was even harder.
Found an ALDI shop yesterday on the way here, went mad, for a low cost! What a feckin' dork eh!?!
And now ladies and gentlemen, a borderline rude, Scotish joke. From the bowls of our bowls, we thank you Iain for telling us this:
Scotish accent engaged...
Whit's pink and wrinkly and hangs oot yer pants?....................................your mum!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes, it just gets better every time.......sigh..............

I'm off now for a mug o' scald.
