It's all Jess's fault. Her next job is in Darwin, and short of going to Broome or Perth she couldn't have picked somewhere further away. Her removal expenses are covered, but not for the car. Having it transported is eye wateringly expensive and so one day Barb and Jess looked at the map with a view to driving the car up together.
Now at this point I was in my appointed place, viz. the kitchen, slaving over a flashing carving knife and looking on with not a little envy. Wow! Drive to Darwin? Yes! I wanna do it! Damn, the two girls were being really quite serious. Fortunately it quickly became clear that it is a very long way and perhaps they might not be so keen after all. Phew!
So it's not Jess's fault really. I volunteered. At my age I should know better but clearly I don't. Jess certainly does. While I'm driving to Darwin she'll be skiing in Japan. Who has the better idea! Read on.
