Home to Narrabri

A ridiculously early start today, between packing in then rain, night time wake ups to a sick boy, and getting everything organised, then noticing the horrendous forecast, we got moving with maybe 3 hours of sleep.
Max was dozing to start the trip and Puppy was too busy cracking the shits that the window wasn't down with the pouring rain. We stopped off at Singleton for a wander around and a feed for Max. On our usual trips, Pup is a bit of a pest in the car and won't settle until after the first stop, this was no different. Had another stint to Scone before Max cracked it, another wander and feed. Then we managed a longer stint to get us to Narrabri, Max did crack it again about 20 minutes out, thank God for Hey Bear on YouTube keeping him distracted, I think I'm double jointed in my shoulder now.
We checked into Big Sky Narrabri caravan park,  thankfully we decided ages ago that we'd book a cabin for the first night. The camper is easy enough, but with little sleep and now Ben and I starting to feel a bit sick, it was the best choice. Alana, who I worked with at Glendale until she did a stint at Broken Hill last year, is currently at Wee Waa, came for a visit. It was so wonderful to see her, bonus that she brought snacks and caffeine! She was telling us stories, recently a bunch of the local teenagers were chasing roos onto the road with motorbikes etc, being absolute pests. Also the pig situation here is a lot apparently, so she took off before it got too dark, her Getz wouldn't win in a fight against the local wildlife. We all got some naps in thank goodness and we just had an easy dinner, wraps. Pup was doing plenty of pacing around but he went to the bathroom without too much prompting and settled in. Poor Max was definitely not doing well, very congested and his little cough kept waking him up.Read more
