Fri, 27th Mar, 2015 Malcolm & Kerry’s farm, Westbury


7 degrees at 8am. A man in Ulverstone, Tas won the $30,000 on Sunrise Cash Cow!! Raining again so weather forecast got that wrong. Won’t bother going to V8s today as it is only practice and we don’t need to sit in the rain and cold!! Cold is bad enough.

Road Runner Transport rang to say our radiator has arrived – and some coffee too from Brian. Drove to near the airport in the rain to pick it up. The rain is lessening so that is good. After a cuppa Steve swapped them over and then after lunch we drove into Launceston to drop the radiator off to the PWR rep. He put it in the tank and there were more leaks on the top as well. Steve rang the chap in Cairns we bought it off so hopefully it will all get sorted out.

Rang Brian to say thanks for sending down the radiator and that it had arrived intact. Business is going well which is great.

Dropped in at Bridgestone where we bought our new rims from as they have developed a wobble at 90kms. The chap was very helpful and was happy to balance them again. We wandered down the road to Macca’s for a cuppa while he sorted them. When we went back he said he wasn’t happy with them so wanted to investigate some more and to bring the truck back on Monday.

The sun is peeking through the clouds and it hasn’t rained since lunch so hopefully we will get a dry day tomorrow for the race. It will be cold but that is better than cold & rain!!

Drinks with the others then into the van for an easy tea. Malcolm & Kerry are off to Melbourne tomorrow for the One Day International Cricket grandfinal – Aust vs NZ.

Erica rang – she met Alan Moffat today and had a photo with him. They have finished their trip following the Murray River though they still have to go down to the mouth. Then they are going to Kangaroo Island. Glad they have finally got this trip done as they have been trying to do it for a few years but rain and fires have stopped them before.

NO PHOTOS TODAY
