18 March 2016 - Miserable Day

There is nothing of substance to report for today.  We awoke to a black sky which eventuated in rain for most of the day.  There was a persistent strong wind as well and it became quite cold.  It was not conducive to getting out and about.

Further we were awaiting delivery of a replacement caravan door.  The original was wrecked on Wednesday when we had to use extreme force to get into the van, through a locked door which refused to be opened by any other means.  A complete door replacement was necessary and it had to come from Brisbane. We were told the door would be delivered today.

In a day of incessant and frustrating follow up on our behalf in the face of stories like, "The door is in Dubbo", "The door can't be delivered because we were in a country area (we are 15km from the centre of Canberra)", "The door can't be delivered because there is no paperwork yet" and "It will be delivered on Tuesday".

We eventually established the door had been in Canberra since 5.00am this morning, so we simply hopped in the car, hotfooted it down to the TNT depot in Canberra and picked it up.  Oh so easy in the long run.  We will hang the door tomorrow.

No pictures today, only **#--#*!  Oh but we must add, the sun came out just as we left, so that was a big plus for the day.
