Our new 4x4 Holiday unit!

On Sunday we came home from camping with Johnson Controls saying we really need to get ourselves a Camper Trailer. So we are more comfortable and can go camping more often as set up will be quicker and easier. Jason found a camper on eBay for sale in Brisbane so he phoned up about it and the seller was willing to let us see it before purchasing it, (I didn't want to buy one site unseen) Jason went and had a look on Monday morning before he started work, he thought it was just what we wanted so he gave a deposit.

Before work on Thursday Jason went over to Shailer Park and picked it up, Chunky towed it home effortlessly! (after purchasing a converter plug for the trailer lights). The Trailer comes with a gas bottle holder (gas bottle included) 2x Jerry can holders, spare wheel, Tool box, King size bed with access pannels to the trailer, kitchen (with gas burners included) and a full annex.

We are both itching to try it out now so the next long weekend in my roster we will be off to the great outdoors! We put the camper up today to take these photos but we dont have enought yard space to put the annex on Jason will just have to take his study books with him! (He starts TAFE Monday)

Attack of the Bucket head!

On Thursday Lulu went to see Dr Frank (The Vet) Jason dropped her off as he is working mid morning to Midnight shift! when I picked her up at 6.30pm she was still very groggy and sleepy from her little operation. when we got home I had the task of putting on the BUCKET! so that she doesn't rip her stitches out. I felt really sorry for her, one because the bucket has to stay on for 2 weeks and two because she was so tired from the anaesthetic that she couldnt keep her head up with the cone on. She keeps running into things including my legs. She slept beside jason's side of the bed all night as was very snuggly after she came home from the Dr's surgery. I am pleased to let you know that she is much brighter today and although she is still running into things she is doing very well.

Repairs turn into Major Renovations

We decided this was the weekend to get started on the repairs to the ensuite (Thanks largely to jason's hard head), but as we removed the tiles from the wall the floor grade adhesive that was used (dodgy builders) pulled holes in the fibre cement sheeting, causing us to remove the wall pannells as well. The only problem is the wall frames have rotted as a result of leaking shower pipes in the wall! Oh my we have a major renovation on our hands!
I have taken some photos along the way I am very annoyed to find that the builders of this house (villa world) took more than a few short cuts!

This is what the Shower looked like when we started and also the lovely feature tiles that were used in both bathrooms.

Sorry its been a long time

Hi everyone

I know its been ages since I have updated this blog, sorry, we have been really busy doing nothing much at all! But saterday changed all that, I am now a proud owner of a new Cannon SLR Digital Camera! Im so excited! I have been waiting for ages to get one and I finally got one! Yeah!

So on sunday I suggested to jason that we go to the Amberley Air show and try it out. Also because it will be the last air show in Brisbane that will show the F1-11's.

It was a really hot day and we were all trying to find shade anywhere, so we found ourselves sheltering under a Lear Jet on display with the singapore air school but they didnt seem to mind. I felt it was a very expensive umbrella! but it did save us from heat exhaustion, I had never been to a Air show before so it was all very exciting to me, jason thought it was great even though he has seen it all before.

We caught up with Shane at the show he was there with his Aero-nautical Training colledge ATAE. working as usuall!

So here are some of the Photos that we captured while we were there!
