Thurs, 18th Apr, 2019 Lake Douglas, west of Kalgoorlie, WA



7.30am 17 degrees, high thin cloud and a strong cold wind.

Rang Suzanne for her birthday and caught up on what the kids are doing.

Ray rang to say the window arrived and they are ready to head off when we are. I said Kerry and Brian had rung so will see them tonight and then we will head off tomorrow depending on how much rain comes with the forecast storm tonight.

Couldn’t find my warm pants so ended up going through all the cupboards and boxes under the bed – finally found them as I will need them with these cold days coming up. Steve had a clean-up in the van’s boot.

Hot soup and quiche for lunch to warm us up, 25 degrees in the van out of the wind.

Played a few games of Skipbo to pass the time.

Fran sent a photo of a big nugget replica that she and Daniel had just seen in the Melbourne Museum – would be lovely to find something that big.

Malcolm rang. He is heading across to the mainland to a historic motorbike meeting while Kerry went down to the beach house for Easter. He said they were having a warm day and he had to put on shorts – it is 26 degrees. Here we are saying it is cold and need jumpers and long pants!!

Quiet afternoon relaxing. The wind has settled so it is nicer outside. Overcast but the sun is trying to shine through the clouds.

Kerry and Brian arrived and parked near us. Chatted over drinks by the fire. The moon is peeking through the thin clouds and I can see some stars. Hopefully we won’t get the predicted storm so we can head out detecting tomorrow.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
