amongst the items mum brought with her was the camera i lost last weekend on the trip home.
the camera is toast, as expected after hitting the road at 100k and then bouncing clear to the other side of it. luckily, the SD card was fine and i was able to rescue my photos.
among the items i found a tomy activity ball, and mum found the hide and squeek eggs. unfortunately the hinges on the case have broken with age but all the shells were there which is the main thing.
after they left, i quickly got changed and hit the road for eltham where i was booked to have dinner with friends. a wonderful meal with great company, and a stunning watercolor sunset for the ride home afterwards.
