Townsville may not be top of everyone's travel list but when you
have lovely friends like Megsy, Adam and lil Finn to visit, then life in this army town is pretty good.
We arrived on Friday with barramundi from the fishos for dinner. It's Monday now and all is pretty cruisey - Megs (& thus I as well) was spoiled with a french
toast and berry breakfast on Mother's Day then had we both went to yoga class in the afternoon before Matt whipped up a paella with treasures from the Sunday markets.
Since my Mum had an address to mail, lucky for me, she took
advantage of the opportunity to send a couple care packages! So
I milled through my treasures and Matt took his treasure off to Land Rover for the truck's 10k service.
We did have to take it for a wash over the weekend so the
mechanics could see what they were servicing. To me, it kind of felt like when people clean their house before the maid arrives as they don't want them to see the mess. Also, I thought a Defender was meant to be dirty - what do I know, I'm still learning but it did scrub up pretty nicely.
We are still waiting for another package from Sydney of the solar digital voltage display to replace our current one that only shows half screen. Then we will head north for Cairns before turning westward for Darwin - this is when the real adventure begins.
In the meantime, I baked banana bread with Finn as my super consultant and Matt played with Samantha the carpet python
(Adam's 2 metre friend).
