$200

I caught up with my brother yesterday and left quite a few movies and TV shows with him. That should keep them going for a couple of months!

The car has been running fine but I had to put water in the radiator yesterday. I am hoping this was just from an airlock when the repair was done recently. The temperature gauge doesn't budge and the temperature yesterday was well over 30 degrees. With the motor running beautifully and the temp gauge not budging it seems OK.

For the fun of it I popped into a Hyundai dealer just to check out a change over on a new small very basic brand new model Hyundai Getz. They valued our car at $200! However the key words were "changeover price". If necessary we could get into a new Getz for about $10,000. Hyundai have a $12990 drive away deal on right now.

Our feeling is we will stay with the car we have. However any more serious problems and it may have to go.

We went Vietnamese last night with Patsy and Eddie. The total for the 4 of us was $60 and the meal was sensational.

Kate took the kids down to catch up with Arj who is on a school camp about 80k's from here for a few hours yesterday afternoon. As you can see from the photo taken here, when they returned last night it had been a pretty tiring trip for two little kids.

I have the cricket test match on TV today and then we have the wedding tomorrow and Saturday. The weather has turned to rainy. A cooler 24 today and then low 20's for the next few days. This is a shame for the wedding tomorrow afternoon.
