First
birthday text came through at 5.30am – Qlders forget about the time change but
that was fine. I was awake waiting for Cash Cow to ring as with daylight saving
finishing they would ring at 5.30am now not 4.30am. But unfortunately they
didn’t ring!!
Overcast
and dreary morning. 7.30am 20.9 degrees and the wind is cold so the van is all
closed up.
Got
lots of lovely phone calls and texts from family and friends. Luckily Jon rang
while I was making breakfast so Steve had to take over!!
9am
it started to rain. We had a game of Skipbo – Steve won, not being nice for the
birthday girl!!
I
made some pikelets and we went into Kev and Linda’s van for morning tea. Doc
and Raylene have returned from Laverton so they joined us too.
Mike
from Tassie rang to see how we were going as he and Anne are heading over in
July to Halls Creek then heading south through WA detecting. What a shame we
are heading east.
Had
soup and warmed up chicken legs for lunch as it hasn’t warmed up much today -
24 degrees. Played a few more games of Skipbo – Steve won easily, must be old
age catching up with my brain!!
Sky
cleared so Steve headed off to try and find me a birthday nugget. I stayed in
camp to check Facebook etc. Had to unplug the phone to get service on my dongle
and when I plugged the phone back in I had lots of missed calls. Rang everyone
back. So nice to hear from friends. Unfortunately Steve couldn’t find me a
nugget.
Had
a nice happy hour around the fire. Linda made me a birthday cupcake and
everyone sang happy birthday – very nice.
Wind
picked up and was quite chilly – had to put on a jumper. Had been in jeans all
day too.
As
we turned off the lights for bed we noticed lightning flashing in the south
west. Some fabulous strikes seem to hit the area where we can see lights of a
mine.
