Sun, 8th July, 2018 Mum & Dad’s home, Cairns, Qld (Dad & Ella’s birthdays)



Cool dark morning with more drizzly rain. Wished Dad a happy 86th birthday. Sent a message via Amanda for Ella’s birthday.

We watched the Supercars race in Townsville while we had breakfast.

The sun came out after lunch. I cleaned the inside of the truck. Then we drove down to Jon’s to give him our old jerry cans as we won’t need them on the trip back. We still have 2 new 20L ones on the roof rack for emergencies. He was putting down tiles in the toilet – doing a good job too. He has been renovating for a while and it is looking good. His patio out the front is huge. He and Jess are off to Bali soon so they asked if I could come and look after the dogs and the house. Steve is going up the Palmer so I said yes as the dogs are very good and Charlie (the ringed-neck parrot) is no trouble.

Back home to cook dinner for Mum and Dad’s birthdays. Jon & Jess and Greg came over too which was great. Showed them our ‘rocks’ and then some of the videos of the Canning Stock Route fun we had up and down the sand dunes. Steve asked Jon to get his geologist friend to have a look at his ‘silver’ to work out what it is.

Lovely evening chatting.
