Hot and Bothered!

So...another scorching day as the time drags on slowly for our escape to colder climes.The 'Cheesemaker' was home early and after a cooling dip in the dam we moved the free range 'chooks' into their high security compound. What a fuss some of them made!Later I had to nip into town for a few essentials for our trip Up Over and just as I got almost to the town centre there was an almighty 'BANG' and the tyre we changed the other day blew!It was the spare tyre and we are not sure how old it was. It was a good job I was not going that fast as it was a built up area but a few minutes earlier I was doing 100 kph on the highway.As the tyre that went flat the other day was still flat I had to ring Will to come in Sky Blue and we took both the flat tyres to a local tyre place to get repaired. The owner did not have new tyres for us but luckily had changed some off another, similar, car the other day and chose the best ones to temporarily replace ours until we are back from the UK when we will replace them all. He only charged us $35 (£20).After endless dry days we got rain this evening, nearly 20 mm. Let's hope that it keeps our garden alive a bit longer.Tomorrow is Will's last day at the Cheese Factory for a while and the start of the Stanthorpe Show. We will go in the afternoon for on Saturday our journey 'North' begins.
