GAS!

Its been a fairly uneventful week. I picked the car up on Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised to discover that they hadn't seen it necessary to strip out the whole radiator so it cost me far less than I had expected. Bonus. I also got my kite bladder repaired very cheaply at a kitesurfing shop so that was also good. However, I had a bit of a blow today, I took the car in for a gas check to sort out the leak and the converter has been tampered with at some point, probably before I got it, and it needs replacing. Its going to cost over 500 dollars, but it should solve a multitude of problems, the gas has been leaking into the radiator somehow so thats probably the cause of the radiator problems. Its getting done on Monday so we're going to have to put back our departure from Perth a day to Tuesday, but thats no problem and we should be leaving with a White Dragon in peak fitness. Meanwhile I'm kind of hanging around the flat waiting for everthing to be ready, trying not to spend any momey. Its been nice to chill, but I'm itching to get going again now. Hopefully going to get out on the water thisafternoon tho, looks like it could be breezy enough to kitesurf.
