The Blogger has gone for a shower.

I was in strife for leaving out this Photo when I did big loads. Mary thought the little car in the background helped with scale.
Whilst here though I will give you some of the numbers Mary says are of little interest.
By the time we get home we will have covered over 16000kms, including all the U-turns to go back and see a bird (possibly).
Both fuel and camp fees have noticeably increased this year, most Parks are over $30 per night, usually $36 or $38. WE heard that on Cable beach at Broome the daily fee for a powered site was $55.
Last year i would have said fuel averaged about $1.75, but this year somewhere round $1.84/5. The most I paid was $2.60 at Billiluna at the top of the Canning Stock route.
I tried to put numbers on the Snailhouse, ignoring running costs that would be required whatever we were towing. This is what I came up with.
Forgive the earlier mistakes the blog won't let me take the cursor back.
I started with the purchase price then added the deluxe inclusions (like espresso makers) to get a cost number, then I subtracted the value of all the bits and pieces I'll be able to move to the Birdhouse(like espresso makers).
The number I came up with when divided by the number of days we have lived in the Snailhouse in the last five years gave me a daily cost. The total number of kilometers we have travelled (almost 80,000km) gave me a per kilometre cost.
By feeding all those numbers into an Algorithm I have been working on for 40 years I came up with costings for our daily use of the Snailhouse. Remember these are per person so must be doubled to account for the two of us.
Each day, for sitting in the comfort of the dining area and enjoying a cooked breakfast overlooking some amazing and some very ordinary places $0.75
In the Navy expense accounts always doubled the breakfast figure for lunch, so enjoying lunch each day in the snail house cost $1.50.
That makes $3.00 per head for cordon bleue dinners every night.
Using the average cost per km arrived at earlier it cost $0.50 per head to move the accomodation, which equals the cost per head per night of $3.00 to have a comfortable night in a warm bed.
This adds up to $16.50 for two people per day. If you accept these numbers, the Snailhouse owes us nothing but has given us much.
The Blogger is rattling at the door now so I'm off
