7.30am
24 degrees, blue sky with wispy white clouds and a cool breeze from the north.
Quiet
relaxing morning pottering about. Steve kept up to date with the Supercars racing
in Melbourne on the tablet – the new Mustangs have hit the track flying.
Rang
Ray and Carol about detecting with them later. Looking forward to catching up
with them again.
Kev
and Linda rang for a chat. He was sure we would be in front of a TV somewhere
watching the racing. They are continuing with fixing up their new home and he
has some car projects underway too.
After
lunch we headed out for a detect. The Leonora aborigines we met yesterday have
moved closer to the Darlot Road. We could see the bonnet was up so Steve turned
onto the track to check on them. They had flattened their battery. The chap we
chatted with yesterday showed us the 3 little nuggets he just found – I don’t
think they worry about getting permission or 40E permits!! Nearly reminded him
about picking up his rubbish as there were packets on the ground again but he
probably wouldn’t listen. Steve gave them a jump start. They said their friends
should be here shortly. As we drove out a 2wd car drove in with three younger
guys in it. I didn’t feel comfortable now leaving the van and cottage so Steve
took me back to the van then he headed back out to detect on land we have
permission to detect on.
Quiet
arvo pottering about. Storm clouds are building in the north west. Dan sent a message
about his trip to Melbourne with Fran in August – will be a bit chilly. Jon and
Jess rang for a chat. They were just back from the farm where the dogs had a
ball swimming so they are nice and clean and worn out now.
No
cattle coming in for drinks now there is water lying around the area. No joy
for Steve either in the gold department!
Drinks
on the verandah with the flies – dark clouds blocking out the sun but I don’t
think we will see any rain.
Dinner
and movies with a nice breeze blowing.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
