Back...

We got back home last night, after almost 2 weeks & almost 5000 kilometres on the road...

Lots of silo photos, from the ground & the air (we bought a drone!!) plus the Great Ocean Road, the Otway National Park, the Giant Redwood forest in Warburton, the Snowy Mountains (no snow - it's barely Autumn!!), the on again-off again Lake George, which is currently as 'on again' as it's been in decades, plus various little detours

No major troubles on the roads - we stopped to help at a head-on collision on the Great Ocean Road (no fatalities, just cuts & bruises), but nobody tried to kill us on the road until yesterday on the outskirts of Sydney, when a BMW SUV decided he was coming into our lane right now, never mind all that looking, checking & indicating malarkey you're supposed to do... Fortunately, I had already seen him & for some reason had him mentally marked as someone likely to do something stupid, so was kind of ready when he did. Doesn't mean he didn't get a free hearing test from Laura's horn & a free counting lesson from me - how many fingers am I holding up, idiot!! Typical - thousands of kilometres on the road without incident & someone tries to get us in our home town when we're only about an hour away from WaitingManor...

I still have about a week to go before returning to work, so plenty of time to have a bit of a holiday from the driving holiday - relax the neck & back muscles, go through the photo trove, air out the musty-smelling house (it's been raining almost non-stop in Sydney while we were away), collect Bella from her lodgings at the Vet & appreciate our own mattress & pillows after 2 weeks of motels

Best Regards,
Mr Jeffrey Preston Bezos Billionaire
CEO of Amazon

I do like that his job description includes the title 'Billionaire'... & that he uses a gmail address

It does make me wonder how many people would be gullible enough to fall for this. Once upon a time I wouldn't have thought very many - but with what I've seen in the last few years... I have no doubt there'll be more than enough
