Mum
and Dad’s 58th wedding anniversary. Luckily I wished them a happy
anniversary the other day as we don’t have phone reception here. They were
married in Stanthorpe which has just received a coating of snow – Mum said she
was glad that didn’t happen when they were there.
6.30am
12 degrees inside so 8 degrees out – so much for warmer in the north. Should
get to 23 as the maximum today. The wind is back but from a different
direction.
We
all went detecting. I got one little bit then a loud signal in a gully nearby
under some spinifex. As I dug I tried not to get too excited about finding a
good sized nugget but just when I allowed myself to dream out came half a
horse-shoe – I could have cried.
Steve
and Ray had no success but Carol got a tiny bit like me.
Steve
took the truck and rounded up some firewood out of the creek.
Ray
and Carol went for a drive around to Mosquito Creek to see their friend Dave.
He has a couple of leases nearby but is set up in the ‘caravan park’ near
Mosquito Creek so he can get phone reception.
Steve
and I played Skipbo then we got the fire going as Ray and Carol came back in
time for drinks. The wind has stopped so it was lovely outside.
