7.30am
16.8 degrees – cold morning for the first day of summer. Clear sky and strong
wind gusts.
No
one answered the Cash Cow call this morning so it will be $110,000 on Monday –
if they would just ring me I would answer!! Sent in another lot of entries.
Warmed
up quickly as we went for our walk south again. Took the camera this time. The
kangaroos are resting on the empty house sites.
Walked
to the end of the sealed path and up onto the lookout platform. Lovely calm
Indian Ocean this morning.
Looking
south.
Then
north.
Lovely
day for a selfie.
Lots
of cray pots just off the beach and plenty of boats zooming around.
Back
to the playground and up to the road. Great day to take the school kids for a
day out at the beach. We laugh each time we hear the ‘bell’ go for the school –
it is bugle call like at the horse races – we keep looking around for the race
to start!!
Margaret
said the crays (lobsters) will start ‘walking’ soon. They head out to the
deeper water following each other nose to tail – just like the hairy
caterpillars at Tinaroo Dam.
Margaret
took me into town to check out the Spud Shed. A chap with big bushy eyebrows
who didn’t take kindly to the potato quota. He started his own shop for fresh
fruit and vegies and it has just grown and grown with them in other towns too.
He is also selling household things just like an IGA. I got some big ‘heart’
mangos. They didn’t have a name like ‘Calypso’ etc but they were only 99c so I
got two to try. They were just like a Bowen in texture and taste so maybe they
were!! Yum Yum – it has been so long since I had a mango.
Margaret
cooked a silverside and I made my Impossible Pie for dinner together – fresh
eggs from Margaret’s chooks.
