I'm back in Kingston 2000Km to Brisvegas and 2000Km back towing the caravan with the TATA and the only problem (was a bit of a problem) was too of the
4 new tyres (Tires for Plook) I had fitted to the Tata blew out side walls- one on the way up to Brissy- was fine at Goondiwindi but when got to
Caravan park on Bris northside one front tyres had bulge in side wall - so swapped in for spare, then on way back 2nd tyre developed bulge in side
wall - not as bad as the first but still there - again at Goondiwindi but the tyres shops there did not have a 16" 4x4 tyre, so had to drive on to
Moree where luckily I brought the last 16" 4x4 tyre they had
Made it the remaining 1500km with out any more trye issues but had to chip ice of the Tata at Tooleybuc, on the morning of the last camping at (it was
F...kin cold in Tooleybuc)
PS I finally bought a wammy bar in Brisvegas, for the princely sum of $10(bris has some good guitar shops), for my 1979 Fender Stratocaster- it only
taken me 30 years to get around to it. Should good for Joes Garage now

Basically all of Europe is melting, pff so hot!
I caved in and bought a summer's dress about a week or two ago, in a bold teal colour I liked. Long but loose fit, so looked ideal to stave off the
heat. Turns out that it is not colourfast. Found out when my desk had turned teal by the end of the day.
Whooops.
Oh well. I guess it could be worse. One of my clients accidentally put his initials instead of his first name (made the same mistake on his wife's
name) and was stopped at the airport, had to buy different flight tickets. Blew about 5K euros in savings.
He refuses to believe he misspelled his name.

Good to hear you made it back safe Eddie, sounds like an adventure...The only ice we are seeing is from the ice maker it has been triple digits for
over a month with maybe 2 or 3 days in the 90's, there is a 360,000 acre fire going just north of here thankfully the airflow is keeping the smoke
away.
Bonny try to stay cool in the heat.

A quick search on line shows there definitely is an "opening" to do a Tooleybuc song
the only one I could find is the very sad Tooleybuc-Manangatang Football Club Song below. I'm sure you could get your Manangatang, Tooleybuc'd in a
song

I got a Mustang Manangatang, Tooleybuc'd girl
She rides the Honey badger all day
She has some Jellyfish in her sway
She's my Manangatang, Tooleybuc'd girl

Swallowed a mouthful of soapy water when doing the laundry.
Sometimes the water pump in it doesn't work and you have to blow the pipe that drains the water from the washing machine, but as I blew the water came
out and hop. YUCK. Gobbled down a box of Norit to keep it together.
Am trying to maintain sanity by watching the Pieterburen Seal Center livestream, which went viral in Japan for some reason. Seals are totally
adorable.

But was the water dark? And did it come from Kansas?

My latest jam is something trending in Japan - after someone posted on TSNFKAT "Hey, let's all watch this live stream of a Dutch seal centre", I find
myself watching seals every day. They're irresistably cute.
Tummy is still rowdy but revocering from the adventures of the past few days.
