Killing time in Kununurra

Thursday 19th June 2008

Ah.... slightly fuzzy heads awaited the adults this morning!

Not good for us because we had a trailer to pack up and deliver to the auto-electricians. Not having to pack up the outside stuff made it remarkably quick and Paul was able to drop it off on time at 8am.

The girls and I loitered by the pool and in Richard and Lynsey’s ‘yard’ outside their cabin but mostly by the pool. Paul returned without the vehicles because it was going to take most of the day – I hadn’t bargained on that so didn’t have any supplies for lunch or in the way of snacks to keep us going. Luckily, Lynsey very kindly stepped up and braved the crowds at the tills in Coles (all open but still all two or three deep) and then whipped up a yummy salad with all the trimmings so that us poor, homeless waifs didn’t waste away!

More pool time after lunch and a phone call to the fix-it men (just in case they needed a bit of chivvying) and then Paul wandered back to town (via an art gallery and the newspaper shop) returning triumphant with a trailer sporting huge great cables between it and the car. If they don’t cope with the currents then there is a serious problem! As for the suspension, they didn’t have the particular parts so just took off the offending pieces saying they weren’t particularly necessary and we could get them replaced at our leisure (when there’s a Jayco repairer who can do it under warranty, I say).

Paul did a great job of cleaning up the outside of the trailer (having taken it through a jet wash, first) and then got to watch some soccer highlights over a beer on the Stanleys’ tv, I got to cook dinner and the girls eventually went to bed.
