Tilly to the Vet

We took Blue for a drive with us on the trip to the vet for Tilly's vaccination. One person was allowed inside to have a face to face meeting with the vet, Peter. He thought she was a delightful kitten and went up in my estimation as he remember our other Burmese cats by name. Blue behaved himself in the car and did not squawk the whole time.

 I had to visit Bunnings for a few bits and pieces and left Anita having a Netflix binge on the Crown. I also retrieved a piece of scrap acrylic from the plastic company to see how much light will pass through the black panels. This led to me painting the timber supports the same colour as the wall so they  "disappear" behind the dark sheeting. I installed this same sheeting on top of the existing walls near our pool to increase the height to meet new regulations. I also have it at the bottom of gates and a section of fence. This was originally to deter other cats from simply walking into our garden.

 Anita reheated pizza from the freezer for our dinner so she could go back to watching this show that has her engrossed. I was knitting when Tilly decided she wanted to get into the bag I use to store my wool. I emptied it and before I had a chance to put it on the lounge she hopped in and went to sleep on my lap allowing me to keep knitting. I finally moved her to the new bed we bought at Aldi and put her and the bag into the bed. Tonight she was objecting to being confined downstairs so we have left her to make her own choices. Hopefully we will get some sleep!

Mclaren Vale

This morning we spent time signing up online for the Winton Way Out West Fest in April 2021 - of course Beccy is performing. We drove to Mclaren Vale to walk along the main street and have coffee. Lunch was at the Vasarelli Italian restaurant - crab pasta and pear, rocket and walnut salad. I spotted this sign but can't see Blue liking this style - imagine keeping him clean. This large cat wanders around the caravan park. His name is Charlie. He came right up to Blue but I didn't trust Charlie not to attack so pulled Blue away. Tilly still hasn't seen Charlie and I think I will keep it that way. Anita and friends wanted to visit a winery so I dropped them at Coriole, while I drove to Supercheap Auto for some heavy duty wheel chocks which happened to be on sale. I wasn't surprised to see a couple of cartons of wine being carried out when I collected the wine tasters. The views over the vineyard were impressive and the wine must be too.

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i

Adelaide - Day With Friends

I took Blue for a walk in search of coffee, for me not him. The first two cafes were closed as it is a public holiday. I kept walking until two people coming from the opposite direction told me nothing was open. We turned back and I remembered another cafe near the vehicle entrance to the caravan park. I phoned and was assured the Orange Cafe was open so that's where we went. A friend from the Gold Coast is in town for a couple of nights to see Robyn Archer's caberet show. We explored the showground buildings near the caravan park. Six of us went to the Goodwood Hotel for lunch. Hardly any venues were open in the city so this was our best option. While the others each had a main meal, my lunch choice was the rhubarb and apple crumble - it was good. After lunch I took Bluey to chase balls. He is not good at catching so I videoed his efforts. He surprised me by catching the first ball. Anita didn&
