7am
25.7 degrees, clear sky and no wind.
Mum
rang for a chat – getting excited watching to see if a cyclone develops in the
Gulf.
Back
into town to pick up our new fridge – yeah.
Steve
had to change the gas line as the new one is different – lucky he knows what to
do!!
All
connected and ready to cool down. 11.30 it was already 35.7 degrees so it might
take a while to cool down.
Kevin
and Linda rang to say they are heading our way via some sightseeing (Wave Rock,
Lake Ballard etc).
3pm
it reached 39.5 degrees and we are in the shade of the tree. Poor fridge!!
After
working in that heat Steve decided he may as well make the fireplace nicer!!
Strange man sometimes!! I just stayed in the van enjoying my book, hiding from
the flies.
We
have some TV reception – unfortunately not the channel the Grand Prix is on so
we can’t watch the Supercars race but will check the results online later.
Sad
to hear of the beaching of 100 whales at Hamlin Bay (where we saw all the
sting(less) rays last year). Volunteers are trying to save them. Amazing too
that on the same day in 2009 another whale beaching occurred there.
Watched
Martin Clune in Islands of Australia which was great as it covered Houtmans
Abrollus (we didn’t get there) and
Rottnest Island (we cycled around it). Didn’t realise how many islands there
are around Australia – would be great to have enough money to be able to island
hop to them all. I would also love to see Cocos-Keeling Islands too.
Strong
southerly wind has come up which is quite cooling after such a hot day. So nice
to be sitting outside watching the sky and enjoying the breeze.
