Mechanic arrived Wednesday, as organised with my shiny new radiator.

As we were pulling the old radiator out we cracked a plastic cover from the radiator fan. We need a replacement because it's part of the support for the radiator. The only one we can find is from Toyota & it's $250.

Doesn't look like $250, does it. Another day at home. We'll try again tomorrow (Thursday). 

Christmas craft to while away the hours. we've baked, cleaned, done school work. One of our lovely neighbours even invited us for a swim. Hopefully we'll have a car tomorrow. 

Yes, after preparing me the possibility of further damage to the motor, all is good. Just short of $2,000 & I have to check fluid levels for a few days to make sure we don't have an air lock anywhere. I hope Michael is proud of me (lol).

There's no greater way to celebrate than with a swim at Redcliffe with the lovely Richardsons. We hadn't told them we were coming so the kids reaction was awesome. 

Nice selfie girls :-)))
