7.15
am 23.5 degrees, clear sky and a gusty NE wind. BOM says winds to increase to
45kph after lunch from the SW so we rolled in the awning and put things away.
Fed
the chickens then did school work with Kayla and her ‘friends’ – teddies etc.
Clouds
coming over as the wind got stronger. Steve pulled off a power point in the van
that wasn’t working well and found it full of dust. He investigated and figured
the dust was coming down the wall from the outdoor speaker. He opened the
speaker up and there was a hole letting the dust in. The speaker didn’t work
well so he pulled it out and put a patch over the hole so hopefully that will
solve that dust problem. As he was working outside a shower of rain fell but
hardly enough to get him wet!!
Closed
up the van as the wind was whipping up the dust and swirling it around the van.
Andrea
posted on Facebook that Cairns to Rocky were going to have over 40 degrees
temperatures over the weekend. That temp and humidity won’t be pleasant.
11am
32 degrees here.
Had
lunch as the wind got stronger but so far everything around the place is ok.
2pm
the wind turned and was more northerly not the westerly like they predicted.
Great walls of dust came hurtling down the track and past the guest quarters where
we were all sitting having a cuppa while Carol continued sewing up the covers
over the vegie gardens – big job.
I
got out my book and read for the afternoon while Steve chatted with the guys.
Joined the others for drinks then watered the fruit trees and put the chooks to
bed after sun set.
The
wind has settled so we were able to open up the van again.
7.30pm
32 degrees and a light breeze. Dinner then movie.
