Worked from home all day, then off to complete the last minute chores before I leave.
Strapped Zimmy's bed to the roof racks, landed myself with an octopus strap welt... to the backside!!! Don't ask me how - I have no idea.
Drove off to Sunshine Plaza very slowly, partly so the bed didn't fly off, and partly because the car behind me insisted on joining our conversation.
I think about it now, and still find it incredible why the metal framed bed did not hit this impinging car when it flew off, but was grateful I didn't have an insurance claim on my hands prior to departure.
Red-faced and red-bottomed (remember the occy strap), fumbling on the motorway, I somehow squeezed the bed into the boot, cursing becuase it actually fit and I didn't try it earlier.
Made it safely to Travelex and exchanged some dollars for euros and some dollars for Thai baht (it's a long stopover).
Sadly left two of my favourite men gazing down from the window box of the Maroochy shack, one mournfully because we were leaving him for a month, and one mournfully because we were leaving him... with
our dog.
Note to self: Take self hypnosis lessons to stop singing 'Leaving on a jet plane' in my head.
Tomorrow, we leave.
