We got away bright and early today. Unfortunately it was bright and early in the afternoon, like about 1.30pm.
Yesterday I skidded down the steps of the van, grabbed onto the newly installed insect screen and pulled it, out. I started today trying to get it fitted again. Unfortunately the rubber around the door had stretched and wouldn't hold the screen in. By the time the screen itself had been restitched and the rubber ordered (Mercedes Germany, of course!), it was after lunch. I decided that we can manage without the screen for a while. I was determined to be away today, 20th April.
Cory was great. He chattered away most of the trip and was very good company. When we got to Gatton and I mentioned coffee, he suggested McDonalds as a good place to stop. We had a stretch and a bit of a walk. I am wearing a fitbit pedometer and was conscious of racking up a few steps at each stop. (1600 over target. I may revise the target after a few days but for the moment, low is okay. You know how it is - aim low and over-achieve. Otherwise I would feel inadequate - and that does nothing for my ego.)
We took the scenic route, not deliberately, but it was worth it. Cory got quite carried away with his phone, lots of messages to his mother and lots of photos in rather overcast conditions.
