Zombie Flu & A Road Trip!

Hello, hello! Yes … I’m still in the land of the living, it’s just been a crazy few weeks. Despite doing all the right things, both GB & I were ambushed by zombie flu (AKA Covid) which took us out of circulation for a week or so. That was then followed by a crazy busy work week for us both as we prepared for a long-awaited & much-needed holiday. Nobody really does either of our jobs when we’re away, so it’s a scramble to work ahead to cover all bases.

But now … WE’RE ON HOLIDAY! WOO! HOO! 🥳😁😎 Yes … we’re just a bit excited about that! 🤣😂 So today was the day we were hitting the road … & we woke up to no electricity in an unplanned outage! AAAARRGGHHHH! Now for townies (people who live in a town) this is only a minor inconvenience, but since we live out of town on acreage, if we don’t have power, we don’t have running water. Not to mention it was an overcast, blustery day with little natural light coming in to light our packing. However … amidst much improvising & muttering, we hit the road …

Like the wagon trains of the US Wild West, we headed … Westward Ho! 😜 First stop was an unplanned one … Dalby for coffee & brekkie that our power outage prevented. 😜

With the driver appropriately caffeinated, it was back on the road. Next stop … Chinchilla.

…where we checked out the big watermelon & …

… GB checked out a giant digital sign he helped design & install. Then we were back on the road. Next stop … Surat …

… where we visited another of GB’s work projects … the Surat Cobb & Co Changing Station Museum where GB helped install & program some interactive displays.

…& we decided we were glad we weren’t travelling in one of these. 😜 One more stretch of driving to land at our overnight stopping point … Roma. Where, after a tasty dinner of Thai at the motel restaurant, we took a moonlit stroll to check out another of GB’s work projects …

… The Big Rig. He helped design, program & install the equipment for the pretty light displays. I think that’s the last of GB’s work projects this direction for us to visit. 😉

And we’re now tucked up for the night, ready to see where the next instalment of The Western Adventures Of The Meandering Meares’ takes us. Stay tuned! 🤣 Til next time …

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
