a Collage of the day at Ilkley Qld.
Twined Mat weave from Sunday at Moroocy Bushland Botanic Gardens
Coil and Loop container. It took on the shape of the glass that I was using as a mold.We have also just spent a great week with Beckie and the Grandchildren. Whilst here we have had the car serviced and some minor works attended.
I had two great weeks with the Aunties at the Jajari Jimbaljin Women's group and look forward to meeting with them again in November.
We are heading off tomorrow towards Ganmain NSW for the Campertrailers National Meet before heading to Shepparton in Victoria for the Australian Caravan Club (ACC) National Muster. It will be an interesting trip because there is quite a bit of flooding down that way at the moment. I have downloaded several apps for the phone to try and keep up to date with road conditions for the trip.
We will then make our way back to Qld for Bradley's Graduation from Grade 12. It has been a trying time for Brad as he bought himself a car (so he could be independent and not relying on his Mum) and then last week the car died as he went to work. The mechanic says that there is something 'broken' in the engine but he has no idea what. [Very unhappy face for Brad]. He has 10 weeks left of High School and in the meantime he has to 'deadly-treadly' to and from his work. [This is not pleasing him at all BUT his Mum can't help him out any other way].
He now has to save AGAIN to be able to get another car.
Hoping to do a quick trip to Wagga on the way back to Qld and then back to Condobolin for Christmas.
