Day 256 Katoomba Monday 18th February 2013

Hi All,

Simon was up and raring to go, which is unlike him, he likes to lie in and is slow to warm up in the morning, but today he wanted to find out the worst about the car and was out the door by 8:00 and off to the mechanic recommended by the NRMA. I gave him a push start down the street no sooner had he left then he was back, I feared the worst, had he stalled down the street? No stalling, all seemed good the mechanic could work on it this morning and would ring later in the day.

We continued on with painting I applied a second coat to the windows, and Simon applied the first coat to the front wall. Francis the painter from down the road came up to work on the sash windows until the rain started and we called it quits for the day. This coincided with a call from the mechanic about 4:00 advising the car was ready. The brushes were reconditioned along with some other components (all double Dutch to me) all I know was $370 did the job! Simon then took the battery controller back to Jaycar who sent it back to the supplier, a new one arrives Wednesday afternoon. We then had to decide to stay a day longer or have it mailed to us, we elected to stay which will allow us to finish the painting of the front wall and try out the new controller to see if it is an inherent design fault before we attempt redress with Katoomba Jaycar from a distance.

Dinner was a superb paella in an authentic paella dish from Spain, it was magnificent. I made my blackberry pie with my tried and true recipe, it was good also. Ahh this gypsy lifestyle of ours has certainly exposed us to some wonderful meals.... such contentment.
