7am
16.8 degrees, cloudy with the south-east wind still blowing strongly making it
feel a lot colder that the thermometer says.
Decided
to stay in the van for a while and play Skipbo. Steve still on a winning
streak.
Brian
and Kerry came over for a chat at smoko time.
Played
another two games before lunch. The wind settled and the sun is peaking out now
so we headed off to detect. Only two little bits for me. Nothing for Steve.
On
our way back we chatted to a guy on a 4wheeler. Chris from Adelaide – funnily
he lives only two kilometres away from my cousin, Chris. Small world. He showed
us a lovely 3g nugget he just found in the creek – fancy that. He has also dug
up 20 pieces of rubbish too though. He has been detecting for 4 months and only
has 18 grams so we didn’t feel too bad about his finding such a nice nugget. We
offered for him to join us as he felt a bit vulnerable around near the dry
blower.
Steve
and Brian went off to collect more firewood. The wind has settled down. Kerry
still wandering with her detector trying to find the next patch. She has the
‘bug’.
Ray
and Carol texted – they got their new tyres and had the car serviced in Newman
so they are all good and back detecting.
Kerry
came back empty-handed. The not-so-nice part of detecting – finding the next
patch.
Chris
joined us for a drink. He has retired at 35, 10 years in business with his
brother running a computer data bank company, 7 days/week, 24 hours a day – too
much stress. He decided he should get out and enjoy life. Obviously he did very
well financially too. He purchased a trailer and 4 wheeler in Kalgoorlie and
has been slowly working his way north.
The
wind picked up again at 7pm – inside for dinner.
