Bus of Ours

While we were overseas Stephen's sister sold us her Bus!

We thought we should get it, as previously we had been travelling in his Van, and the Bus seemed like a step up...And reality was that we thought at least we will have a Home to go back to in Australia! And, lets face it, buying a second hand bus is a lot cheaper than buying a house!!!!

But, once we got back we lived with his mother for a few months, then we started renting this little Unit we are living in now, and the bus has juts been sitting in the driveway.Not too sure what its doing there!

We tried many times to get it ready to go travelling with friends and family, but we never actually got things finished! Money and time too short!

But we have been at it once more, and it looks like we may have it ready for our next camping trips!

Its really very exiting, a whole new adventure! I have never lived in a bus!!!!

I have painted the inside yellow, to go with the stares that are on the ceiling inside. I sanded the kitchen table bench and polished all the wood trimmings inside...As well as cleaned the window tracks!!

Hit The Road!

Well really its not quite that...But I like the sound of it!!!  
We are going camping for 5 days and I cant wait to be on the road!
We are not going far, just a couple of hours North, to Imbil State Park...I just want to discover where we live before we go further...
I really plan to do a few hikes in the national park thats next to it! Its gonna be great....

So I wish you all a wonderfull weekend and here is a little quote that i think is really nice:

Believe Nothing

No matter where you read it

or who said it to you

not even if I said it to you

unless it agrees with

your reason and

your own common sense.

Le Jour A Papa!

Father's Day.

I guess until Tullula is old enough to celebrate it alone with her father, it is my duty to make that day happen for him. Yet, I'm very grateful that Tullula is getting to an age where she is cooperating, and it was really easy to actually make something for him this year!

At first I was just going to buy some nice t-shirt, as he is in desperate need of t-shirts, the one he has are starting to look like what the African wear, holes all over, one wonders how its still holding together!

I am very proud of him, using his things till there literally fall off his back...

So I went to a surf shop (as he is a surfer), looking for something cool for him...But all the shirts had BOLD BIG Brand LOGO written across the front of them all! No way....That's just not us...Then I was shocked at the price of a T-Shirt; $50!!! Double no Way!!! 

Not going to spend half of a weeks worth of food on a single T-Shirt, only for it to have a Brand Name on it, and probably made in the same factory as the dollar shirt!!!!

So, i did just that, got one at the cheap shop, for $6 and once we got home, this is what we did!!!!

 

I realy thought I had some sort of textile paint, but it was no where to be found, so I just used a permanent marker!
I hope it will hold, and that he will enjoy his T-Shirt...
I wrote on there, "you are ours" and the year!


P.S: the note book was to put underneath where I was writing, just in case it was to go though!
