Small steps today....
Rear window leak fixed today, sewed up the covers on the single bed mattresses and tucked in the new red blankets - photo to follow in a day or two.
Have read some threads on fridges here and on a couple of other sites and whole originally we were thinking to get the full three way number, we have decided that with the price difference we'll go with a normal bar fridge.

Oh and we are going to change the way the door opens so that when I'm at the sink preparing food I can just lean down into the fridge

So we're back home after a love.y weekend with other VVers in Tanunda. Our first time meeting up with the VV gang ... What a lovely, friendly bunch of people. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting lots of new friends. We got lots of good hints, tips and ideas for making improvements on Sunny.
Lessons learned in reverse chrono order!
Lesson 1 - tidy up early because people like to look inside!
Lesson 2 - the new bar fridge door will NOT Stay shut without a clip or something when traveling
Lesson 3 - don't pack in a hurry because there' too much to forget
Lesson 4 - you can actually survive without most of it!
Photos to follow later!

A serious effort on getting Sunny polished today - first scrub with soap steelo pads then finish with purple polish. First full section complete - well done MOTH xx  Polishing by Willow5075, on Flickr |

Sunny is now tucked away in the carport and all teh cushions etc are on order from the upholsterer
The MOTH is steadily scrubbing and polishing - he's also hoping to manufacture a rear bumper that will also hold the spare tyre

So the work on Sunny haas slowed because the MOTH now has a job in Sydney which is good news and bad news. good because he is working and has an entire workshop to make great sculpture and bad because he isn't here to keep doing work on Sunny
On the other hand if we end up moving to Sydney, we'll have a whole new area to explore......
Meanwhile, thanks to on line shopping, I am having a lot of fun putting together a 50s wardrobe - so much fun !
