Summer in Mandurah

Well we had an uneventful trip with Jetstar from Adelaide to Perth on Tuesday 27th. Once we arrived at Perth Domestic Airport at 2pm we headed for the Transperth bus stop and waited for 15 minutes in the 40 deg C heat for the number 40 bus, which took us into the city. A quick 5 minute walk to the train station and then on towards Mandurah, 50 minutes south by train.
This was the first time Jenny and I had ever caught public transport home from the Airport, it proved to be an easy, cost effective option. Approximately $10 each.

Ainsley & Joanne dropped us off
at the Adelaide Airport

On Wednesday 28th we dropped our VW Kombi Camper, off at the local canvas gurus to have a new pop top tent section fitted. From there we rode home on the push bikes via the path along the freeway. Dam it was hot & humid, the ride home is 21kms.

Hot ride home, thinking about
losing the beard.

Thursday 29th, tired of looking like a hobo so shaved off my beard and had a hair cut.

Friday 30th, slack day paying bills, organising travel insurance for the Europe trip in March & house maintence...leaky toilets (x2), yucky poo!
I needed some spares to repair the loo's but we couldn't get our car out due to the power being off because a car had hit a power pole.
I know there is a manual over ride but the roller door is very heavy and our Landcruiser is quite tall. Fortunately our daughter's sedan was available.
Then had a couple of friends over for dinner.

House maintenance time. 

Jenny put up the pool.

Our friends, Darren & Delys. Yes that's a new me
