The week passing in a haze of no sleep or too much sleep.

We had a lovely visit from friends of Steve from the Caravanners Forum this week.  They were also here a couple of years ago.  I recall that Steve knew that Chris and Val were coming but we didn't know then if they were two women or husband and wife; and which one was which??   We soon found out that this husband and wife team were wife Chris.  Therefore Val was the husband.   We don't know his full name.
It reminds me of when of when I lived in the pub at Erica.  A young guy, Val, full name Valeriano, was waiting for his brother to join him.   He told us his brother's name and we all practised saying it properly.  It sounded a bit like a hawk from the back of the throat and then a sneeze.  Spelling his name was much easier ---- it was Jesus.

The previous week we had two other couples from the forum come to visit.  It never rains but it pours.
One pair had a 5th wheeler with a slide-out and were frantically trying to dry everything out where the slide-out had leaked.    That did NOT help my cause.   I've been asking for a slide out for the last 3 years.  It seems that everyone Steve knows has had trouble with them.
I'm expecting Lorraine Garner here soon.  She rang from Darwin last week.

Steve has had a cold for over 3 weeks and is still coughing.  The cold symptoms seem to go away and then return some days later.  We had a doctor's appointment last Wednesday, to get some scripts.  She heard Steve's cough and prescribed antibiotics.  He's feeling better already.   Just to complicate matters, I twisted as I came out of the en-suite on Tuesday morning and my back went into a spasm.   I've worn my brace day and night but I'm still screeching with every step.   I gophered down to the pool this afternoon and soaked in the 37C pool for an hour, so I'm hoping to see some good results soon.   It would be this week that Tom, the massage man, takes his one week in the year holiday!!!!
