Sat 29th
Another lovely clear sky morning, 21 degree minimum. Steve back to working on the trucka and Margaret & I went fishing again. Only one chap here this morning, not a good sign but we started catching some Herring and had a great time. I brought the camera today to get a photo of the changed beach look from the other times I have been down here.
I got ‘dubs’ 3 times though one got off just at the shore so that didn’t count. Margaret took photos - the first photo, one fish got off the hook so I had to hold him but the other photos has both fish on the hooks.
Margaret works with one hook trailing behind a burley thing whereas I have two hooks floating above a sinker. Great fun when they get on with a big pull, just have to be careful coming in as they have soft mouths and seem to get off just at the shoreline!
Back home for a cuppa and count up - 28 today. Bob comes down with his ‘goafer’ and tows the ‘wagon’ back for us.
Steve is making progress with a few grumbles along the way. All done so he packed his tools away. There are big white bulbous clouds to the east - storm building?
Margaret invited the neighbours over for drinks and nibbles. We had a wonderful afternoon chatting then continued into the evening. The wind picked up and then we could smell rain in the air. Didn’t worry us up on the patio. Someone looked at their watch and it was 10pm so they headed home and we tidied up then went to bed. Great night.
The strong wind is rocking the camper and things are being blown around the place as we have had calm weather for a few days now. This will be the end of the ‘heat wave’ they are having.
Sun, 30th
Big cloudy and still windy but not too strong this morning. Good for a sleep-in.
Packed up a bit and then moved the truck and camper across to the shed front so Steve can drop the camper off. Next expense - new tyres for the truck so he didn’t want the camper on to get them replaced. Also he needed to take the truck for a test drive. All good so far.
Cooler day after all the wind - 31 degrees. Sky cleared.
Got a lot of work done on my cross-stitch.
Messaged Kev & Linda to catch up on Tuesday.
Mon, 31st
Cooler morning, 19 degrees.
Put some washing on then had a cuppa before we headed into town to get prices on new tyres. Ended up with a smaller business in Mandurah, City Discount Tyres, who was a lot cheaper than Tyrepower. Booked in for Wednesday morning. Into the Forum Shopping Centre for a big shop up of non-perishables for our trip into the bush soon.
Back home to pack it all into the cupboards! Will do some more shopping on Wednesday after we get the tyres on.
Steve checked under the truck ‘again’ and noticed a crack in the exhaust pipe!! He took it off and will get Kev to weld it up tomorrow. Must be more welds on this pipe than pipe now!
Drinkies with Bob & Margaret watching Tipping Point again.
