The Safari fell foul of the fuel panic today. In order to be able to go on a far flung safari well beyond the South-side at the weekend we needed motion lotion for the Land Rover. An orderly queue was waited in for what seemed like an interminable time.
Eventually we were marshalled to a pump where we spent almost as much time filling as were were waiting in line! A king's ransom later (you really don't want to know how much - only a few pennies short of triple figures!!! - oh how we've all fallen foul of the useless politicians games/blunders) and we're mobile again and now looking forward to a bumper weekend...as long as it's not bumper to bumper; shouldn't be at the ungodly hour we're intending to travel.
Patch 1 - didn't get very far this morning and nothing to report - distant Song Thrush singing in the far this evening during our game of footy on the little field - my it was eye wateringly cold in that wind.
Patch 2 - too hazy to see anything at all!
No pics today, and possibly none tomorrow either, unless the young un's find summat while their helping with our work;s garden - they often do!
Where to next? More of the chilly same.
In the meantime let us know whose queuing for what in your outback.
