Windscreens


23rd July – Thursday

July is fast disappearing!

A wonderful clear morning, which very quickly warmed up to a pleasant 29 degrees. We no longer sit in the sun, although some tourists (probably English) make the most of it. We noticed one lady who spent the day on a sun lounge beside the swimming pool, wearing a bikini, had a very red tummy and face this afternoon. Not hard to imagine how red and sore it will be tomorrow.

Contacted Mitsubishi this morning and, surprise surprise, still waiting for a reply.

The car had a big shower and scrub this morning and looks much more normal now. Les contacted AAMI about the large chips and cracks in the windscreen – one crack measured over 60 cms in length – and they sent us straight to a dealer to have it replaced. We certainly wouldn’t have made it back to Hobart without a replacement! It took two hours and we now have a very clean windscreen. Let’s hope it stays that way. No excess to pay, which was great, but no more windscreens until next February.

While the windscreen was being replaced, we took the opportunity to wander through Cairns Central (a shopping centre) and found something for Jack’s birthday. The check out lady asked Les if he was buying it for himself!!! He wishes. We also found something that was just so Emma, but unfortunately don’t have enough room in the caravan for storage.

A quick check of the local bowls club on the way back to the caravan park and we look set for a game next Tuesday night. We have decided that night time is probably a much more sensible time to play than the middle of the afternoon.
