6.30am
12 degrees, with a thick cloud band in the north-east.
Hope
Matthew is enjoying his birthday. Wendy said she had started her birthday celebrations
early with yummies at work, then lunch yesterday and I suppose David will take
her out somewhere nice today.
7.30am
it was up to 15.3 degrees for breakfast – much nicer. No wind as yet.
Finished
packing away the groceries.
A
nice breeze came up as the day started to warm up. Opened up all the windows
and vents – forecast is for 30 degrees all week and 14 minimum which occurs
about 5am.
Steve
cleaned the fridge’s jet and checked the back of the fridge for bulldust but it
was all good. The fridge always struggles after a big shop and with the days
getting warmer we will put the fridge fan on to help it keep things cool.
30
degrees at lunch time. Decided to do some washing as we might head off on
Monday. Just after I had hung it out a willy willy came roaring straight over
our van but luckily it didn’t have any dust so we just got a good blast of
wind.
The
area we saw burning last night seems to have taken off again so we drove back
to Skull Springs Road to have a look. I didn’t have my camera – it was a
spectacular sight as huge flames leapt into the air as the fire roared up the
side of a hill. The wind has picked up too which is moving it quickly through
the spinifex making a lot of thick black smoke.
There
is another two spots to the north and west that are burning too. Apparently
there are a lot of fires burning in Marble Bar.
We
went back to our original scrapes and went over an area which had been burnt
nearby. We had a great time for the afternoon picking up little bits.
Joined
the others for drinks and a lot of laughter again.
Stayed
warm for the evening then chilled off enough to close up the van as we went to
bed.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
