Day 30: Happy families

Boys, blogging...

Dodgem cars through the Adelaide streets in the morning rush hour is exciting stuff. On our way to the ultrasound, we had a couple of near-misses from people who were enthusiastic lane changers. Fortunately no 'connections' were made, and we arrived at our destination relatively calm and still smiling.

The ultrasound revealed that Callum's Hallax is neither broken nor has the tendon been damaged. Thank heavens for that, because Callum having an operation or being on crutches would severely curtail a lot of activities. (Apart from the fact that it would be uncomfortable for him of course.) The tissue around the offending toe is severely bruised, and we were sent away with a tube of Voltaren gel to get it sorted. Hooray.

Having planned to lurk around the medical centre all day, which we now didn't need to, we had to decide what to do next. A bit of retail therapy was in order, and so we located a nice, big shopping centre (West Lake Shopping Centre) and made a bee line. We bought some DVDs and few bits and pieces, had lunch, then headed home.

The afternoon was spent watching movies and doing some schoolwork. All in all, a relaxing day, much like we would have spent at home - hence the 'happy families' heading.

We are going to have to polish up our tourist act, now that all is relatively well in the foot department. We move off on Thursday, along the Murray River, so perhaps things will get more exciting on the blog front by that point.
