Jo I like the crockery. Very attractive.

Love your dinner set  Jo.  Just unlucky AB, hope you are on your way again now.  Fun Jam, I love all the little bit at ikea, serviettes, plastic bags etc etc.

AB don't forget to go out to Ivanhoe Crossing. On the road out there you can often buy fresh food at a couple of places. The mango smoothie place out that way is great too, if it is still open. Some things don't stay open for many years out there.
Behind the Hidden Valley caravan park there is a couple of great walks through some mini bungles. I think it is called Mirima Park. It can be accessed from the main road.
Did you call in to Lake Argyle? 
Your trip sounds wonderful. Are you coming as far down as Perth?

That sounds lovely Aussie Brenda. Enjoy every minute of it. If you go to El Questro try and swim at Zebedee Springs. They are a hot springs and the higher you climb the hotter the water gets. I'm not sure if you can still get there though.
Wyndham is an interesting town. Try and get up to the Five Rivers Lookout too if you can. That is in Wyndham.

I bought this at the upmarket a couple of weeks ago.  It is for cleaning drink bottles but I thought it would be good for around the blade etc.  I like the fact that it hangs on my tap and have found it very useful. Made by oxo.

Making me have wishful thinking and remembering Cookie; we have been on those walks from the Hidden Valley Park. Loved Kununurra.

I haven't been shopping but did receive a belated (very) birthday present yesterday from DH; a cast iron camp oven for making bread in if I wish and it had my name and the date of my birthday cast in it; how special.

Clever. Be looking for that.

Very thoughtful troupie. Well deserved.

Going back to the RFID wallets on page 810 of this thread.  I sent one to my sister for her birthday last week and when she was using it the other day the lady at the checkout was very impressed and asked for details.  Then today, I had the same reaction at Officeworks, the girl serving me said she had never seen anything like it and is also going to follow it up.
