Dundee Breakdown

Saturday Tina had to work so I dropped her off in town and headed out to Casuarina to a little Christmas shopping of my own. Boy was I crook and Wendy’s Dog and a Solo didn’t help much either. My big task of the day was to get the gas working in the van. I headed down got a new regulator and it works fine. Even solved that Kris Kringle issue.
Watched a little of the cricket, the Windie’s not the Wendy’s doing well. Picked up Tina and headed off to Dundee. It’s a pretty good drive and the last 20k of dirt is better than usual. We arrive around 6 with a beer in hand. Tina has nominated me for Tiling the kitchen and Brian is grinding the floor to make ot more level in the Donga.
Then while we are talking to Jan a loud bang and scream of pain has us running towards the donga with Jan calling out to Brian. No answer and we are concerned arriving to find Brian with Blood pouring out of his foot and severe pain. The grinding stone has shattered and smashed ointo Brian’s foot creating a large bleeding hole as well as a massive lump on the top of his foot. He has gone pale and clearly in shock but plenty of help on hand to see us through the first 20 minutes of drama. Anyway lot of ice and we thin just because he can move everything he doesn’t have to go back to Darwin to the RDH tonight. But more about that later.
