Well, I made it home in one piece. Ended up driving over 6500 km and have 0.03 credit left on my credit card:)

Firstborn now tells me it's a limit, not a target... dammit. I thought I was on a winner there.

Rumour has it they want the money back, too, but I'll believe that when I see it. Geraldine was very quiet today, mostly because I didn't turn her on. There is only one road between Coober Pedy and Alice Springs. Even I am not so geographically-challenged that I needed a GPS to find my way home:)

Wore a new t-shirt today, however, that says "God's busy. Can I help?" which got a comment at every single place I stopped along the way, including a ten minute review of The Da Vinci Code (bestest book he's ever, ever, ever read) from the guy at the service station in Coober Pedy who thought the t-shirt indicated my interest in religion.

I even got back to Alice in time to review Stardust for the ABC. Now I have to write a review, I suppose, and post it for them, too.

But right now, I'm going to take my dogs for a walk. I bought a really groovy doggy walker for Fluffy in Melbourne (her hips give out on long walks) and the other dogs look like they could do with the exercise. I know I could. Three days of sitting in a car is harder on the old body than it used to be:)

I have a sore throat too, but that's from singing along with the CD's in the car at the top of my voice because nobody else could hear me... I love long drives on my own:)
