I SO HAVE TO CATCH UP.......

What pressure - I need to find FOUR, that's 4, it's even QUATRO (just practising the Spanish!) poms!

So here we go................and they will all be quite recent this time - none of this cheating and finding photos from 2005, 2001............last century even !!

Here's me (or my fingers, sadly in need of a manicure!) with my trusty Spanish phrase book. I'm helping a new student who recently arrived from Argentina with some English. His name is Santiago and lucky for him we have a teacher who spent a year in Honduras as an exchange student and is quite proficient in Spanish. I'm hoping to spend an hour or two a day with him if it works out that way, so I have had to brush up pretty quickly with some words and phrases. I can't believe how much progress Santi has made in just one week at school - Muy Bien Santiago :)

Last night we surprised Tracy (my goodest fwend) with a 50th celebration dinner and she was overwhelmingly surprised - much to our delight - she was delighted that she was to celebrate with her family, but would really liked to have had her 'closest' friends there too, BUT everyone seemed busy and going away or the like....looks like I was more surprise than her in the photo :) Don't even ask, I have no idea what I was doing !!

And I'm going to cheat and claim this POM as number 40 and be one in advance!
And a couple more of the 50 year old and her celebrations - photographer Me :)

Then I do digress................

Friday after school Allan and I headed off to Adelaide to pick up our heating "stuff" for the house - in the UTE, the UTE so needs a different set of tyres, it was a rather uncomfortable trip.

It was very warm when we left.

It became warmer the further we went.

We stopped at Naracoorte for an ice cream and drink and it was plenty hot!

We stopped to refuel at Keith and it was SO DAMN HOT I nearly passed out - 45 degrees and I'm sure that was in the shade!!!

By the time we arrived in Adelaide I was praying that our motel room air conditioner was in great condition and we would get some sleep.

We arrived in Adelaide and it was a little cooler (9:30pm) yay it was only 41 degrees.

We arrived at our motel and opened the door to a BLAST of Antarctic like air :):):):):): (that's me very happy (Muy Felize!). If fact it was so cold we had to turn it off and our room stayed cool cool cool all night and we slept like - like really great!

Anyways, as I said, I digress: Below are a couple of shots taken of the sunset as we travelled along the Princes Highway, the photos are taken through the windows of the ute and travelling along at 110kph - the first one just before Tailem Bend.

This beauty was just out of Murray Bridge - It made me think God was saying hello and welcome!

HELLO BACK GOD!
