After five months in Castlemaine!

I will start by announcing there will be no photo's as I'm blowed if I know how to access them from my iPad,one would think that would be easy,unfortunately not.Pat and I are finally gainfully employed,both working at the Castlemaine bacon factory.Pat does the afternoon shift,3-11 working in the small goods dept  pushing very heavy trolleys full of salami's and all the variety of sausages from the smokers to the chillers.I am in a different dept on day shift,so someone is mostly here with Hub,packaging the yummy Christmas hams!! we'll do this for a few months and replenish our money box then in the new year will look at continuing our adventures.Will try to keep this current  and work on the photo side,love to all.

Pat had a round of golf, Dodg and i explored town then went fishing!I caught a big carp(mongrels) then lost one cause i was stuck on my rather large ass and didn't  get up quick enough.Really very beautiful in a different way.On ward to Castlemaine tomorrow to our beloved Hub,Mandy and G.G.

A beautiful foggy morn to wake us at Jugiong,we had a little walk around the little town and went on our merry way.Stopped off to see the dog on the tucker box,bought some yummy apples and headed off to Albury, but kept going on to Wangaratta.
