Isisford – Housekeeping Day

Housekeeping Day

Housekeeping Day

We decided to spend another night in Isisford mainly because we really needed to do some washing and it is just such a nice peaceful spot (and at only $2 a night – a bargain place to camp!).  So – I walked up to the local shop which has the laundromat attached in a little lean to shed and put 3 loads of washing on (yes – lots of washing because we had one wet the bed, one wet their pants and one have a no 2 accident – aaaaargh!).  The kids were given a free lollipop each from the lady at the shop so they were happy – I bought myself a coke – so I was happy – and we went off to the park to play while we waited for the washing to be done – a pretty good way to spend a Thursday morning!

The rest of the day was spent pulling everything out of the camper and trying to get some organisation happening – we got things a little better but basically just put everything back in a little neater!!  Matt has a new obsession silicon spray and has literally sprayed every zip, door and roller we own!!!  He reckons that he could now be a salesperson for the stuff, he loves it so much!!  Everything is moving/opening/unzipping much better now, so I’ll give him that!

And that was our day really – was lovely to stop and relax for a bit!  The kids played and coloured in and we spent lots of time at the park!  We have pretty much run out of food now though (soup and noodles for tea tonight!) so might move on tomorrow and finally do a proper grocery shop as up until now I had only been buying food a day at a time – a little expensive and doesn’t work so well when you stay on somewhere a little longer than planned!  Dinners for the last week have been – Spag Bol, Pizza, BBQ, leftover Spag Bol, Chicken Stirfry, Fish & Pasta and salad, Bacon & Eggs & Tinned Spaghetti and Soup & Noodles.  Not great but has been easy so far!  Anybody else got any easy dinner ideas for us??  We don’t have a camp oven yet, but have a gas oven and cooktop so can cook most things!

Hope you are all well!
