Robbie’s niece has a little dog called Jasmine. It’s a Maltese/Spaniel cross and is soooo cute. Both Jack and Bron said if they ever get a dog this will be the one.
This other picture was taken at Lainies house (Robbie’s sister). You can see Lainie and Jade (her daughter) and Mel (Lainie’s friend) on the left.
We are staying with Lainie and Ralph at the moment. They are totally spoiling us. Yesterday they served pancakes with maple syrup and fresh strawberries for breakfast.
It’s our last night in Brisbane. We are leaving on our road trip tomorrow. The van is packed to the brim with things I never thought we’d need. We have something for every eventuality. The list includes a ‘dutch oven’ (It doesn’t involve a duvet:-) a billycan, and a toilet seat which is attached to a stool so you can poo in comfort in the outback. We have every tool you can imagine including ropes and winches to drag us out of potholes. We should be gone for about 6 weeks so we may not be in regular contact. On the way we are meeting up with Robbie’s dad who will be travelling with us for a while.
Oh by the way we tricked Robbie today. Lainie put a false spider on his shoulder. He screamed so loudly Ralph came out into the yard to see what was going on. It was so funny. And I thought I was going travelling with a big brave man!! Mind you, I can’t talk. I’ve already had two spider nightmares where I woke up screaming!
