The
extra day – Leap Year. 16 degrees at 7.30am with clear blue sky and no wind
again. The mornings start off like this then the wind comes up about 11am.
Said
bye to Darlene and Stephen as they are heading over to Yorke Peninsula. Steve
checked out the water and said it was so clear you could see the grain silos at
Ardrossan across the Gulf.
Unpacked
the groceries etc from yesterday and packed the meat into the vacuum bags. Made
some more pasta salad and some ‘Nuts and Bolts’. Had a clean up – carpet out,
sweep and mop the floors etc.
Had
lunch under the awning – if you are in the sun it is hot but in the shade the
breeze is cold!!
Got
up-to-date with my blog. After smoko we headed down the road to fenced off
military area – wonder why there are street lights going out in the water.
Looking
across the gulf but I couldn’t make out the silos. May have been easier to see
with the morning sun on the white silos.
Into
Dublin to dump the toilets and have a look around. In the shelter shed were
ceramic tiles created by the locals telling the stories of the area and the
people who lived and live here.
Found
the school and another lovely old building.
Drove
down to Thompson Beach, down to the southern end – just the same – a few
streets of old and new homes.
Then
up the northern end.
Back
towards Parham then we turned off to a smaller group of houses at Webb Beach.
Parham’s
history photos are in the Social Club hut but it is closed Mon to Wed so missed
having a look. Along the Parham Esplanade – must be a plumber.
Quiet
arvo – had to do an update for the Satellite phone and upload the blog etc.
Wind
settled down early today. Rang Margaret to arrange meeting up with her again on
Wednesday. Quiet night watching our favourite shows, Supernatural and X Files
(that I had taped).
