We have a house

 We have a house - or we will do. And it's the house we really wanted. The current tenants have run into difficulties with their move so we won't be moving till next week some time. We have paid a deposit and the bond so... back to waiting but this time without the anxiety.


In the meantime we have been looking for a car and have decided on a second hand VW Tiguan. We will pick it up at the end of this week. We like the VWs. The seats are really comfortable and the indicators are on the 'right' side. It's taller than the Golf we had so Doug's parents can get in and out more easily. Heidi might need a step up into the back.

 

That's 2 goals achieved - or nearly achieved. The next one we hope to achive is Doug getting a job

We have also tried to explore Mt Kincumba but we came across a big 'NO DOGS' sign so we backed off. I did see this orchid on the side of the road so the trip wasn't quite wasted. It is called 'white fingers'

We left the car with them and walked into town looking for coffee and lunch. We found them at the cafe on the Pichi Richi railway station. Heidi found a lady who loved dogs and had treats in her bag. Of course she was very cute and was given lots. Later on we were walking along a sealed pathway and when I looked down Heidi had a dead spotted dove in her mouth. Where did she get that from!! Fortunately she was willing to open her mouth and we discarded it. Good grief! This is NOT a 28. This is a Port Lincoln Ringneck!     Today we packed up and left. It was slow because of the rain in the night but we finally trundled off and made our merry way southish and eastish. We lunched at Burra. It was s...
