Day 47 - Dick Costs
Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 09:00AM Can’t really write too much tonight, it’s been a big day. Today I worked at a Rio Tinto site, I was meant to work at 11am when the guys flew back to site (Yes they have an airstrip on site) but the plane was late & I did not work till 130, so I sat around waiting. Then I had to drive an hour back to where we are staying, pick Ness & Annie up & then go into Tom Price to get a permit to drive on the rail access road tomorrow. Ness had shopping to do & we then came back to the van. I had to put the awning up and secure it with pegs, which we don’t normally do for short stops, but just in case it blows away as we will be here for a few weeks. Ness then fed Annie, I cooked 2 magnificent steaks on my BBQ & we had dinner, did the dishes, watched the last bit of “In the night garden” Ness read Annie her books & fed her, I went to the loo, filled up our hot water bottles & I am now typing to my blog friends. I’ve got a few days of over the weekend so I will type more then.

Meredith told me to use Lanolin on my hands, not a bad suggestion M, will give it a go. But without gloves.
Mel is out on a big date tonight, at least I got her commenting on the blog again.
And my sister Heather is having a party for my niece Sydni who turns 16 on Sunday. Heather was going to arrange for entertainment for Syd & her friends then realised that her husband (Syd’s dad) would be there and they would not need entertainment.
Annie’s blog
This is Annie’s dad here, Annie fell asleep early tonight and was unable to do a blog, so goodnight from us all. XXX

Wow.....had to get out the mini mini cup for my morning coffee to read that update........short and sweet....
Hope you all slumbered well and your hands are feeling a little softer today.
I'm off to Cairns at lunchtime - hopefully I'll have more luck than the poor people trying to get into Mackay - flights cancelled left right and centre! How's the weather where you are? Very wet and grey here at the moment.
I went to a function at Portside last night at a venue that normally boasts lovely river views but all we saw last night was rain!
Have a great weekend guys.
