Possum Galore
A life ‘Down Under’!
Odds and ends
After months of research Will has a new phone....a Moto X......with which he is very happy. He talks to it and it does things, like tell him the time or the weather...it will even write and send texts for him.He came home the other day with an Iphone that was at his work in the role play area for the children to play with......it still works! It tells you something of the area his Kindergarten is in if people can pass on working Iphones for the children to bury in the sand tray.He is going to to take one of his old, broken phones to replace it, and I am using the Iphone now.....it is an old one.....a 3 something, I think.We went back to the Botanic Garden yesterday and walked through the Rainforest part....it was lovely but full of mosquitoes.
Dulcie walked a long way before getting in the wheel chair and it was only then that we noticed that the foot rests were missing. We had to cut short our trip because of it. We had an ice cream and headed back, calling off on the way home for a car wash for Roxy.
Roxy is looking good. She has 4 new tyres thanks to Wendi, who bought them for Will for his birthday.
 
We had a big clear out of the garage today as Trace and Jen are coming on Tuesday and they would not have been able to get their van in there.
Tidying up the pergola I found this lurking in the folded up barbecue cover...
We are looking forward to seeing Trace and Jen and to next week when Shirley is coming for a week and Will and I are hoping to get away for a few days camping.
In search of Vimto!
So...... while Elaine was here yesterday Will and I went off in search of Vimto.Last week we made a failed attempt to locate the Foodworks at Morningside that, by all accounts, sells it simply because when you Google 'Foodworks Morningside' the first thing that comes up is a different Foodworks in Coorparoo.....the one we went to last week.Yesterday we found the real one.
Initially we were disappointed because in the 'cordials' section there was no Vimto but we asked a young chap stacking shelves and he lead us to a different section with a big 'IRISH/ENGLISH' sign.
There we found Vimto!.......but only the canned variety. We asked another fellow close by about the cordial. He looked like a Goth....but seemed far too happy to be a Goth and had probably been kicked out of Gothdom for being too chipper. He said he would look into it if we left a message on their 'Facebook' page. We bought some 'booty' and left.
As soon as I got home I left a message on their 'Facebook' page and almost got an immediate reply......from Andre (?).......I think it was the Goth....no wonder he was kicked out......Andre is not a Goth name......anyway, Andre was going to look into finding Vimto cordial.....yay!Stay tuned!In the meantime I wondered if I should message him back and say 'change your name to 'Baal' and they might let you back in,'......but I didn't.
