SHEPP NEWS

Hi all

Well we have had another week go by, and it is starting to get a tad miserable.  It is meant to fine up for the weekend, which will be good, as the washing is piling up!!!!!

Tone and I will hopefully be here employed until the end of May, if not a bit longer - just to try and accumulate some funds for our next trip.  The tentative plan is to do a round trip and end up at Coober Pedy - and we will see how it goes in the planning.

We had a great weekend - did a big clean of the van inside and out (boy it was dirty).  We went out to Pizza Hut (not even my 7th choice of restaurants).  There was about 15 of us that went there from the caravan park - its funny - it started out just being the "boys" and then the "girls" were allowed to go.  LUCKY!!!

When we get the picture from Jan I will  post it to the blog.  We had a good night and then all walked home the long way around the Lake.   It is such a great bunch of people and we have such a good community feel about it.

On Sunday we ventured over to the Tatura Races - it was a big cup day = probably about 1000 people there.  I went all out and wore a fascinator - to join in with the day........

My first bet was a winner and I won probably 6 out of the 9 races - Not bad for a novice and of course no idea about the horse etc etc.....I just picked the name mostly.

Tone only had one place win of $3.75 =- he was not happy at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I even got to keep a cap from the bookie we were using.- not bad aye!

This weekend is a quiet one with catching up on some reading and Tone and I are off to "Bingo" - that will be fun.

Enjoy the pics - not many this time.

Love and miss you all
