Fantastic Friday (but not for Andy).

Today was FANTASTIC!

Perhaps it was because I had done all the

housework/food shopping during the week and because I didn't need to go to any appointments and because I didn't have to much stuff for easter twenty10 (the program is nearly finished!)

We began our morning with a long walk with Pippa. I can't remember the last time I had time to just go for a walk (without walking to the shops/markets/playground). Katy chatted the whole way in the backpack.

Back home a few little chores needed doing - unpack dishwasher, hang out washing, water the back lawn etc. Meanwhile Katy did her own exploring - she has begun to crawl! She isn't doing marathons yet but she is definitely up on all 4's and moving in the right direction. After all that exercise it was off to bed for a sleep.

Lunch followed with Katy eating slices of semi cooked apple as she now really enjoys feeding herself. Then while Katy entertained herself with her toys I did a few computer things related to easter.

To break up the afternoon we had a swing in the front garden and then ventured to the post office and bookstore. Now Katy is asleep again!

I know Andy's day wasn't fantastic like mine. After submitting all the road traffic plans to the relevant people for the easter carnival, it was discovered that they had used the wrong intersection on one of the major highways. We thought it wouldn't be a problem and could just move the already established road signs 2km up the highway. WRONG!

Now the NSW RTA have said they couldn't accepted the plans anyway as they wouldn't be able to reduce the speed limit on a major highway on Easter Monday. Background information for you is that we will have around 400 cars turning right off the Federal Highway (a big dual carriageway highway with a 110km speed limit) into a small road which services several farms. This turn is on a sweeping right hand bend with a small slip lane for the turning cars.

Ok so let's go with plan B (turning left off the highway onto a small lane, follow this for about 1km then turn right onto another road which then intersects with the Federal Highway and cross over then head back to the event turn off which would then be on the left.) This all looked good on google maps however when Allison drove out there today just to check, the road which we plan to turn left onto has a locked gate across it!! Haven't heard what has happen as yet but will keep you posted on this lastest easter twenty10 saga.
