Nambucca Heads - Day 95

Door fixing day!!  This is a certainty after this mornings lock out & lock in!  Dan was out with dog, I was in shower & Mack walked out to Dan and closed the door with Fletcher inside.  Trying to explain to him through the closed door how to open it with a screw driver was lets just say a bit hard, I was calm and he was clam so he finally did it and I was proud of him for persevering.  We taped the door half shut and stuffed the door way with socks so it didn't close locking us out, emptied all our valuables into the car, well that is except my wedding rings and ten year anniversary ring that I left on the table for any would be burglars to have easy access, but of course I only remembered this half way to Coffs so I stressed the whole time we were gone.  But that's ok I saved the $29 e-readers !!  Its not even  half an hour to Coffs but the worry of my rings on the table with our door left open saw us going in to the dealer for the new handle and home again.  They assured us we could fit the door handle easily and taking our existing key barrel out" takes the boys at the yard 30 seconds".  We didn't even dare to think this was going to be the case for us as nothing goes right for us Griswolds,  Of course my rings were safe and well and we put some fish in the oven and we were still going when the half hour timer went off.  There was some tense moments and just as Dan was ringing the man from yesterday to come out to help it all just fell into place.  Three screws is all that holds it together but what a pain it was, don't think Dan or I would be any good at a break and enter.  Door fixed.....tick, hot lunch......tick, so this wasn't such a bad day, well it was 3 o'clock by now though.  We spent the rest of the day inside as it had started to rain which they had predicted the last few days.  It was lovely to hear the rain on the caravan roof and we all relaxed reading books, Mack and I did get bored of course because we are busy people so being forced to sit still is hard, answer to that was get the umbrella out of the car and take a walk around the park in the rain.  We had some tea and watched a movie, it wasn't until 8.30 that they smiled and reminded me that I had forgotten school work today, little devils had whispered at 3 o'clock that I had forgotten, I heard them but thought they could have a day off.  If it rains tomorrow we might go to the movies and catch up on school work!
