7am
24 degrees, clear sky & blustery cool northerly breeze.
Steve
fixed the broken side mirror on the truck that he knocked off trying to sneak
through a narrow track. I baked two banana cakes and a date slice – need
yummies for Bob & Margaret and for Christmas.
Wind
changed to south west bringing clouds over us. Black clouds appeared to the
north but moved east so no rain for us.
After
lunch Steve decided he would move the fuel pod to a different position and onto
a lower platform – always trying to improve things.
Bob
and Margaret arrived and parked their van beside ours. Had a cuppa and banana
cake and caught up on what they have been up to. Margaret gave me a lovely wall
hanging with a gecko on it that Bob’s aunty had made.
Spits
of rain fell from a black cloud over us then it got a bit heavier as the wind
picked up from the south west. Had to close up the van etc as it was blowing in
sidewards. Margaret and I retreated to our van to hand up the wall hanging. The
rain stopped and I opened everything up again. Checked the rain gauge, 3ml (if
that is correct).
Margaret
had rung earlier to see if I wanted any wine which was great as I can’t get the
bigger wine casks in Kalgoorlie or anywhere here. Her daughter, Julie, had some
bottles of chardonnay that she didn’t want so that went in my fridge too for
Margaret and I to enjoy.
Sat
beside the cottage trying to keep out of the cool breeze. We were worried about
it being too hot here for Bob – we all laughed when he went and got a jumper!
6pm
25 degrees with a strong cold breeze.
I
cooked dinner for all of us. Set up the table in the lounge as it was too cool
to sit outside. Lovely evening chatting.
Closed
up the van again as the wind was still blowing and cool when we went to bed.
The sky is clearing and the stars are coming out again.
