A slight reprieve

Awoke to rain on the roof albeit very little.

Turned into a very warm and sunny day. Went into town for usual cuppa and paper.

Had just returned to van when Mark from NPT rang to inform they are replacing the gearbox with a new one and it is in Australia! Praise God. Hopefully they will be able to have it here by Mon or Tuesday , so we should be looking at dust in the rear view mirror by Wednesday.

Bill Powell rang and told how he had been to see them and obviously been able to assist in encouraging them to contact us with this news.

We went for another walk in the afternoon, calling into see Paula at Mitre10. She insisted we borrow their car, so will pick it up on Friday. Called at LA Office and arranged for more painting to be done over the weekend. Spent some time at the library doing emails etc.

As usual there are lots of friendly people in the park so spend time chatting.
