Day 102 - Orange Splendour

Another item on my to do list for this week was to give the Commodore a bath and to take some photos so that we can get around to selling it. Here she is in all her orange splendour, ready to be listed online... well as soon as Dale gets his car back which is a long and frustrating story... so for now she gets to stay :)

Day 34 - Bye Bye Boat

I finished my first week back at work quickly this afternoon, and went down to the front of the school to wait for Dale with the orange duo! It seems that Dale has a pretty definite buyer lined up in Sydney for the boat and so we set off on this rainy afternoon, straight from Queanbeyan. Dale probably wouldn't be selling the boat if it wasn't for the fact that it hasn't been in the water for almost 2 years (too many hobbies involving motors?) and I bet he will have regrets when he sees it off. However, I am looking forward to getting the garage cleared a little more so that we can fit at least one car in there. Now I know that Dale will be thinking, "Belinda should do something about her piano" but I promise that there are plans on that count!

Day 30 - Black Beauty

Now that we have decided to sell the boat, we don't really need me to have such a big car anymore and so in not too long, our Commodore will be finding a new home. Today I picked up my new car after dinner! We went and had a look at this Mazda 3 on Sunday afternoon and I really did love it straight away. This is actually my 4th Mazda and second black one, having had a 121, 323 and MX5 previously. Now I just have to get used to driving a manual again... it is a good reason to get excited about driving to work tomorrow though!
