Friday 2nd August 2013 – Mount Isa

Up at 6:15 this morning (still dark) to take Jem to work at 6:30.  Usually Nat has to bundle the three boys into the car to do that.  Mind you Nat has already been to the Gym and back.  That's what you call dedication!!

A fairly lazy morning before taking the car to Toyota soon after twelve for its 30,000 km service.  We will have travelled about 20,000 km by the time we get home.  Had lunch at the Isa Hotel after having a wander around the streets and very nice it was too.  A bit more f a wander and then a coffee frappe at Coffee Club while we waited for Nat to pick up Jill and go and pick up Isaac from preschool.

Service was straight forward although the back door is still hard to open.  They tried to tell me that it was caused by all the ‘stuff’ in the back pressing against the back door.  Funny that they managed to fix it at the last service.  In my opinion (and experience) Prado rear door locks just do not like dust and we’ve had plenty of that.

Takeaway Chinese food from the Red Lantern for dinner tonight.
