Waving good bye to Carol, David and my car in February. Off to Sydney they all go.
The young ones had to find an apartment and jobs before they could get a loan for a car. Now they have settled into Sydney with a nice apartment, great jobs and, now their own car. (Mazda3 Hatch)
They arranged to have mine sent back to Brisbane on a truck. This morning we got the call to say the car would be arriving at the door at 8:00.
Whoo Hoo! She's back from her job in Sydney. I love my little 'Getz'.
Oh no! This big man is going to squeeze into my little Getz. I hope he can "Getz" out.
Here she comes!
I 'Getz' in and drive her into the garage, the first time in five months.
Welcome home, Getz.
ReplyDeleteI own a white Getz, we go together everywhere and after going for a drive around the block with me, my sister on returning to Coffs bought herself a blue Getz.
Hi Diane, Glad your got your cute little Getz back. I had to laugh when you said you were pulling it into the garage... You were on the PASSENGER SIDE..... ha ha .... Forgot that you all drive on that side... I'd have a hard time getting used to that IF I lived there, or in England. Wonder who and why someone changed our country to the left side?????? Sounds like a research blog sometime....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I want one of those. Only I'll take the steering wheel on the other side, please. Just ship it to my house anytime. :))
ReplyDeleteI getz all excited when I see your little red car back, diane. Also cool to see the driver on this side again. In South Africa we have right-hand drive like you do. In North Africa we have left-hand drive (like Betsy!) Getz some gettzing used to when you return home to the SA again. Have a wonderful day. Jo
ReplyDeleteI 'getz' that you're happy to see your car back. Welcome home happy little red Getz.

So glad to see your little car "Getz" home safely! She looks very perky and happy after her adventure.
ReplyDeleteAw..she "Getz" prettier each time I see her//she looks like a LadyBug! Just go and paint some black polka dots on her!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the kids are doing well..and so glad she's home with you- she's aDORaBle!
Love this story and your attachment to your car. I had a lovely little red Peugeot 306 until a nasty RangeRover with a bull bar smashed up its rear-end and corrugated ALL its underneath.
ReplyDeletePS Love BB's ugh-boots!
You've got your freedom back. Must take Getz on more adventures ... we love em ... you've got a lovely style of story telling.
ReplyDeleteThat was so nice of you to lend the young-uns your car. I love that car, by the way--red and tiny and probably gets very good gas mileage. Glad she's back home to you from her trip.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Getz! We loved having you in Sydney. I even felt guilty the first day we drove the Mazda to the ferry! Look after my Mum & Dad won't you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy days. So glad you 'Getz' your car back Diane. Seems like only yesterday I read the post in which it was on its way south.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great sense of humour .... smile... love your sheepskin slippers too.

I love that car its cute, the red color is beautiful...when I gain more confident on my driving I'm thinking to replace my car with that one, easy to park only and comfortable to ride, always admire it everytime I saw on the road
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your Gertz back! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Dianne -- even your car has adventures! Welcome home little red Getz.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little car! I don't think they have that model here. It reminds me of my little red Rabbit, which I love. Looks like she had a fun working holiday :) Kat
