I’ve had itchy bites on my ankles for over a week now and they are driving me crazy. They are so itchy and the only thing that relieves that intense itch is ice. So I am waking up every hour and having to ice my ankles. so today I am feeling very groggy and headachey.

We’ve been hearing a clacking sound when driving in our van so I got Mike to check the shock absorber the muffler guys fixed. That was fine, but the other side had broken.

The bolt that held the shock absorber had lost its nut. Wayne finished work at 10.30am and was keen to help. So he took us around a few stores looking for a nut. But turns out the thread on the rod was ruined so we found a new rod.

Wayne and Mike spent the afternoon fixing it, and Wayne is so funny, it made the afternoon fun. He reminds me of brother Paul.

In the evening we went out for dinner at a yummy Italian. It was fun.

Tomorrow, Wayne is flying in the morning, but will take us into the big city of Vancouver and show us around.
