I brought a new car


I have had two people post this above Freud picture to my facebook page in less than a month. Not sure what that's about but I guess for some reason they thought of me. One of those people being my husband......go figure!! :)


Below is my new car that I had to buy over here after the last one died on route to Darwin last holidays.  A great start to the holidays!! Nothing like being stranded in the outback to make sure that next time, you're in a Toyota with the BEST air-con systems, and that small detail REALLY matters here. Yeah, so it's a Yaris and the impact will be massive if I hit a kangaroo or cattle beast on the Highway at 130 kms (yes, that is the speed limit), but I will be careful to drive only in the daytime. I use to stop and steer at dead kangaroos on the road until I realised just how much they featured as road kill here, then the novelty soon wore off. 


It's November already. Time has flown by so quickly. New Zealand is in daylight savings and so now we are 3 1/2 hours behind them. There is never daylight savings here and the day always rises at 6am and sets at 7pm all year around. I do kind of miss not being able to enjoy an evening walk on a beach without the fear of being eaten by a crocodile. I can't wait for some beach and BBQ time in NZ over the next school holidays :)
