Fri, 1st Dec, 2017 Bob & Margaret’s, near Mandurah, WA


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.
