7.30am
16.1 degrees, overcast and still very windy. It rained during the night but the
wind was blowing so hard the rain barely touched the ground.
Gave
in and rolled the awning in as it looks like the wind is going to blow all day.
Packed our stuff that we had under the awning away as it looks like more rain
is on the way.
Played
a couple of games of Skipbo with Steve – he won both of them!!
Had
a cuppa then decided we might as well go into town and do the shopping as we
can’t do much here. Rang Angela and Ron who are staying out at Peace Gorge to
let them know and agreed to meet up at the Royal Mail Hotel for lunch. It was
established in 1899 and the young chef is doing a great job creating very flash
meals and beautifully presented. Had a great time catching up with Angela and
Ron and we might see them on the coast in November. Angela took a photo of us
and sent it to my phone but I can’t get the Bluetooth working on my laptop
again so I can’t get the photo off!! Ended up taking a photo of it.
Topped
up the water, got the gas bottle exchanged and got our groceries. Also the book
Charles posted us had arrived. It is a story about Struberville in the Palmer
and about the murder of Bruce so we are looking forward to reading. Back to the
park for a cuppa so Steve tried ringing Charles to say thanks but he is up the
Palmer so chatted with Sue instead. Then we rang Rick and Kaylene – glad to
hear he is improving.
Still
blowing but at least it isn’t as dusty in town and the clouds have been blown
away. Headed back to camp for late drinks. The wind has settled a bit after
sunset and the temperature has dropped too. Dinner inside tonight.
