8am
28 degrees, breezy, sunny with wispy clouds.
Cut
Steve’s hair – short on top this time.
Steve
did the service on ‘Pat’ and noticed a leak on one tyre. Picked up a broken
bolt somewhere – patched easily so all good. Tyres have lasted well.
Changed
the oil on the generator – needs doing every 100 hours. As we run the genie 15
hours a day it needs doing regularly.
I
made rum balls – crushing the biscuits with the spray oil tin. Then I prepared
the 3 ingredient fruit cake – pinched Steve’s rum for both.
I
made lunch (37 degrees in van) and we ate it in the pool – very nice. Cyril
(Bob named him) wandered along the verandah and past the pool then meandered
under the caravan checking everything out. Steve had put out the chicken
carcass for him so he was probably seeing if there was any more.
High
thin clouds building up to storm looking. The breeze blows on and off but it is
quite pleasant.
Kerry
and Brian rang to wish us Merry Christmas. They left Cairns in November and are
now in Esperance, slowing down now to enjoy the scenery. Hopefully we will see
them somewhere next year.
Rebecca
and Clive sent photos of them cuddling Ava so I gave them a ring. They had a
lovely time with their little granddaughter and things are going well for
Ingrid and Aidan in NZ.
Kerry
had sent a lovely video with Christmas music which I thought was so nice that I
used it and sent it to all my family and friends on Facebook. Got lots of
lovely messages back. Spent the afternoon chatting online with many of them.
Jess
and Jon were out having dinner with her brother so she sent me some lovely
photos. Daniel rang – he is busy building an enclosure near the back door so
the cats can have some time outside. Fran will be off for 4 days so they will
have some quality time together. Daniel doesn’t go back to work till the 7th.
He said the heat was bad in the shed where he works but he coped with it ok.
Very humid today.
Rang
Mum and Dad – all good there.
Heavy
cloud blocking the sun as it started to set while we had another dip in the
pool with our drinks.
7pm
35 degrees in the van – the fan is on to move the air though we get a breeze
every now and then.
Still
31 when we went to bed but there is a nice breeze so all good.
