Had to take my husband's new to us car for a service this morning over at St Marys, it was the farthest I've driven the thing. Wasn't too bad but don't like the brakes, they are completely different to mine, in my car the brakes are touchy, the slightest extra pressure on the pedal and the only thing stopping you from going through the windscreen is the seatbelt. In his car it feels like the opposite, the pedal is firm and I feel like I have to push hard on it as the car comes to a gradual stop. He claims his brakes are fine.

Had a long walk to the station, decided to explore the local shops. Was going through the checkout in Target when I noticed a man playing the accordion to a small audience of elderly people. My feet were sore so I chose a seat in the midst to listen, thinking when I get home I'm going to blog this. All these great and funny things went through my head and I wondered if should write them down, no worries I'll remember.

So here I sit..... got nuthing.... zilch.... nada

Boring.

I did walk away at the end of it humming the tune to Along the Road to Gundagai

There's a scene that lingers in my memory –
Of an old bush home and friends I long to see –
That's why I am yearning
Just to be returning
Along the road to Gundagai –

There's a track winding back
To an old-fashioned shack
Along the road to Gundagai –
Where the blue gums are growing
And the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky –
Where my daddy and mother
Are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood
Once more I will see.
Then no more will I roam,
When I'm heading right for home
Along the road to Gundagai.

When I get back there I'll be a kid again –
Oh! I'll never have a thought of grief or pain –
Once more I'll be playing
Where the gums are swaying
Along the road to Gundagai –
