6.30am
6.7 degrees on the thermometer on the kitchen side and 9 degrees on the one on
the table. We stayed in bed.
7.30am
it got up to 7.3 and 10 degrees on the two thermometers. Will have to try them
side by side to see if they get the same temperature. Regardless it is too
cold! Clear sky and as yet – no wind. This is the nasty 3 day cold front they
said was coming across from South Aust.
Put
on a t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt then my flannelette shirt with long pants to go
detecting. Glad I wear glove too to keep my hands warm. I went back to where
Brian’s little nugget came from. I got a signal and looked down and a little
nuglet was shining back up at me. I called the others over to show them what a
‘sunbaker’ looked like.
The
wind picked up but not as strong as yesterday. Clouds are passing over us from
the south-west.
20
degrees in the shade and 25 in the sun at lunchtime. I drove Kerry up the hill
to try and get phone reception again but it must only be a night-time thing.
The
wind settled down by ‘drinks’ time so we sat in the sun having a great time
chatting. Steve got the fire going as the stars appeared – spotted 2
satellites. Brian and Kerry gave us a bottle of Fortified Red from a winery
they stayed at near Donnybrook. Apparently ‘port’ is registered trademark or
something hence they have to call it Fortified Red instead. We had a glass
straight away and it was lovely.
6.30pm
15 degrees in the van even though it was closed up all day. I put up the phone
aerial and left the phone connected and it flicked in and out of reception. I
managed to send off a text to Greg and Tracy to pass on our birthday wishes to
Katelin. Sarah is still overseas so will have to send her a belated message via
Facebook when we get better reception again. Sent Jon a text too to let Mum and
Dad know what we were up to.
8.30pm
it got down to 11 degrees so Steve put the heater on. Much better.
Lovely
hot shower before bed – will have to put the flannelette sheets on if this
keeps up.
