SUNDAY OCTOBER 22     ALMOST A DISASTER…

Late morning, daughter arrived to drive John out to the caravan park at Marong, to collect Bus.

The plan was to drive it to a relative’s place a few suburbs away, to be stored in her barn-like shed, along with the caravans of various other family members. I took the Terios and met them there.

The best-laid plans…almost turned into a disaster.

Daughter was directing John as he reversed into the shed, through lovely wide doors. She screamed very loudly, “Stop”. Which he, did, instantly and fortunately.

Shed length and width of doors opening – no problems. But we hadn’t thought of height. Dumb. Just luckily, daughter had been standing at an angle where she could see the Bus air con unit only a few cms from being scraped off if John went any further under the door frame.

So, scrap the shed storage.

For the time being, Bus would just have to stay outdoors, parked under some trees on aunty’s acreage block.

This would not be a permanent solution, as I really wanted it under cover.
