Brisbane

The good news is that I found a mobile mechanic, on a recommendation from Graham & Libby's neighbour. He came out first thing Monday morning and....Roger needs a new radiator. How much would you expect to pay? $900 plus fittings! Just in parts we're looking at $1,245 and it's not fitted. We just have our fingers crossed that there's no other damage when he does the pressure test. 

Libby & Graham kindly offered use of their car so after a successful morning if school & the fabulous news about the car, we headed to Redcliffe for a swim.  A huge lagoon but it's fed by the sea which is nice. I even managed to reverse park the Suzuki. 

Today we did a few hours of school & then I mowed the lawn. After 12 months I was impressed that I could start the whipped snipper. I can hardly lift my arms  :-). This afternoon I though we needed some fun so our school sport was water balloon fights. It never gets tired for a laugh. I got smashed when they all ganged up on me!

Mechanic has the parts & will be here in the morning. Fingers crossed for another swim tomorrow afternoon.
