Last
day of 2018 – wow this year has flown, though we have packed a lot in it with
our big trip home and back via all the desert tracks.
7am
31degrees, clear sky and light breeze. Heating up quickly today. Watched our
past photos from 2 years ago and we spent today with Kev and Linda at
Greenbushes and Bridgetown and saw the new year in with them.
Cooled
off in our pool while we have a cuppa. I had put some vegemite in the bottom of
a fly catcher container I found as I have noticed they love our vegemite
crackers we have for lunch. It worked too as they started going in through the
little holes at the top to get to the vegemite at the bottom. Interesting
pastime while we had our cuppa – watching flies get caught. Lots of cattle
wandering in for a drink at the trough. Glad we moved the hay over there so I’m
not getting any cow manure on this side.
Midday
40 degrees – caught up with my blog. New Year wishes coming in on Facebook.
Time
for lunch then we packed up to meet Glen and Kym to start our New Year
celebrations with a swim in the dam.
The
water temperature was lovely so we soaked for a long time. As it is so deep it
keeps the water temp nice and cool. Had a glass of bubbly and some nibbles –
the wind is so hot when you get out of the water.
Decided
to just go up on a hill near the homestead as the track to Penzance Hill was
very rough Glen said – 2 busted tyres later. We were relaxing too much that we
nearly missed the sun setting.
Malcolm
and Kerry rang from Tassie to wish us a great new year. They were heading home
from their celebrations as Malcolm has to harvest the lucerne – the life of a
farmer.
Had
dinner at the homestead and played Sequence. The boys are on a winning streak.
Yummy homemade caramel slice for dessert and a few more games – the girls won a
few. Messages coming through on the phone and Facebook – I sent off one message
to everyone. 10pm Queensland is now in the New Year as we are 2 hours behind.
Sent Sarah a message as she is in New York in Times Square with her friends.
The movie on TV is ‘New Years Eve’ which is set there.
We
had the TV on the ABC channel which was showing the Sydney celebrations and
fireworks but in WA time. Counted down the 10 last seconds of 2018 then hugs
and kisses for all. Here’s hoping 2019 will be just a great as 2018.
Packed
up and headed home.
