Melbourne Bound

So, Jodes has a new job. I don’t. We’ve moved to Melbourne to work on our sun tans! Cool huh? Jodes had already flown down last week and I drove down… if you could call it that. Recently returned Miller the Cat was supposed to be sedated but just looked wasted and whinged incessantly like he usually does whenever we take a ride in the car. I broke down 9km the Sydney side of Gundagai (about 3 hours in), got towed to Albury (~200kms?) had some guy repair the vehicle (wasn’t sure that it could be done and he did a great job), and was back on the road under my own power by about 4:30pm. The rest of the drive was uneventful, if you don’t count the dodgy sausage roll I bought at a BP servo in Euroa. About 2 hours after that I was heaving up on the side of the road. Lucky me!

Anyway, after about 16 hours I made it to Melbourne in one piece, just a little lighter (less money due to towing and repairs and less in my stomach), Fun!

WOW! Now that’s quite a story. Avoiding all sausage rolls for a while. Glad to hear that Miller is back.

I know. Further developments (e.g. two other people being sick at Marty and Em’s since then) suggest that it may have been a stomach bug. The dodgy sausage roll just looked like the likely suspect! Anyway I made it and I did pass a bakery the other day and entertained a sausage roll :)
