Thursday again

It's just after lunch.
The lawn guy has been here, the water cooler guy is on the way. Made it to the bank and insurance office.

I got home to find an email from my US bank telling me that they have frozen my ATM card.
apparently the person that I spoke w/b/f we left, forgot to put on my account that I was leaving the country and they had frozen it! GREAT...
SO I had to chat online w/them and then phone their security dept on a landline as US toll free numbers don't work from here.
The card is unlocked and they NOW have a note on the card that it's ok that I am in Australia.
SHEESH.

Insurance took 2 hours out of my day, but it is all finished.

on a bright note, Frank called to inform me that we are going out to dinner w/3 other couples so I don't have to cook.

The 11 boxes that we packed and shipped (air freight) have yet to arrive. We were told that they would be in the garage waiting for us when we arrived. I'm really tired of wearing the same 4 outfits. Luckily w/the barbie washer, I'm doing laundry daily! Dalby is not a high fashion town so it works for now!

Odd things about Dalby:
No one has doorbells, you just knock.
Everyone has fences, not sure what they are keeping out or in!
There are no pick up trucks. Just little trucks w/flat metal beds (very odd looking)
people drive like idiots... ok, so that's a worldwide problem.
There are more bars than churches, always a problem!
The young and natives do not like north americans, the rest are fine w/us.

the good thing about being here is that when I called the bank security line it was the middle of the night in the US and I got right through!
