7.30am
18.6 degrees, overcast and windy. A light shower of rain fell about 5am.
Another shower of rain and strong wind buffeting the van now.
Sent
Stephanie a birthday message via Facebook – need to get her phone number.
Rang
Andrea and Alan for a catch-up – she is loving her view now the big tree has
been removed from the neighbour’s yard.
I
tried ringing Rebecca and Clive as they have just come back from their trip to
Iceland but she was out and texted she would ring me back later.
Moved
camp to a pending area just out of Meekatharra.
It is near where Steve found
his first big piece 3 years ago, but that area is now a live lease so we can’t
go back there. As it is going to be 31 degrees Steve parked near a tree to give
us a bit of shade from the afternoon sun since the wind is blowing so much
which is giving the awning a beating.
The
fridge is playing up again, not keeping cold now. As we headed down Steve drove
on the corrugations to try and dislodge any blockages in the cooling pipes of
the fridge.
A
few more drops of rain fell at lunch time.
The
sky has started to clear. Steve went for a detect while I relaxed reading – got
some good books at the moment. I went for a walk back and forwards along the
track near the van to get some exercise with the wind whistling around me
through the trees. Steve returned – he got lots of exercise too.
Played
Skipbo over drinks – I had a win, 2 games to 1.
Rebecca
and Clive rang – they had a great trip except for the long flights. Clive has
some great videos of the amazing waterfalls and glaciers which I will check out
when I am home.
The
fridge is getting hotter, 10 degrees. Steve checked everything again and
definitely thinks it is a blockage in the cooling pipes. We pulled out the
perishables and jammed them in the truck’s fridge/freezer. Luckily we hadn’t
done any more shopping.
7pm
25 degrees with the windows and vents open – lovely. Dinner and movies and we left the windows
open.
