After five weeks house sitting in Clayfield, I moved into the van. It is essential I learn to live in it - though it would be good to do some small trips in it. That won't happen - though I will go to Beachmere before I set off for Alice Springs.
It's been cold. Very cold, but I have managed. In part because I have spent time IN my daughter's house. The grandchildren were on holidays and other grandparents were there too.
Each night when I departed the house - I filled a hot water bottle with hot water. Some nights I heated the water on my stove, but it was easier to do it IN the house.
Eventually, the new curtains were completed. I have not taken a photo of them yet, but am so pleased with them. They certainly work to block out the light and the cold. Privacy is good too.
I took the grandchildren to a cafe at Manly, on the William Gunn Jetty for lunch one day.
My son has gone to Finland so I am house sitting for him in his unit at Southport. It's still cold. And frustratingly the television does not work. Luckily I have a small one in my van, so I will go and collect it tomorrow.
Today I was busy - went to a podiatrist to check on my feet, after going to Paradise Point. I have a few ideas of keeping me busy over the next couple of weeks, though I hope the weather warms up a bit.
