More expenses.

Mutterings continued.

After having spent $375 to get my car serviced, repaired and generally put back into a state where I feel safe driving it, I've just forked out $175 at the dentist for a scrape, polish and to be told that I need what will turn out to be expensive work on one of my molars.

Bugger.

One bright note - Coles is selling Whiskas cat food for 80c - a saving of 28c.

Bargain.

No blog yesterday as blogspot went AWOL. I sent a message to the blogger helpdesk about the problem but haven't received an answer. The problem has now been fixed, obviously.

Yesterday's This Time Last Year:

Spent the day on Lindisfarne, the Holy Island. The island is joined to the mainland by a causeway that floods twice a day, so it is vitally important to take notice of the tide tables! Cars have been swept away as a result of people thinking they can beat the incoming tide.

The primary school has only 2 children, a brother and sister. The priory was founded in 635 and the museum houses the Lindisfarne Gospels, produced c698.

St Cuthbert, founder of the Abbey:


We had morning tea at the Lindisfarne Oasis Cafe which seemed very out of place with its pictures etc of palm trees and camels. We picked up a leaflet outlining all the new age workshops we could attend - there was even a workshop on how to have a workshop.
