7am
29 degrees, clear sky, SW breeze.
More
lovely Facebook messages to read. Rang Val to wish her a lovely Christmas –
having lunch with some of the family at her granddaughter’s place.
Put
the fruit cake in the oven. Steve put the modified old screen door on so the
cottage is all insect proof now. Had our cuppas cooling off in the pool.
I
started the biggest jigsaw, 1000 piece, in case I need the room but apparently
it is the same size as the 300 piece, just the pieces are cut smaller. Should
be interesting.
Uncle
John rang to wish has Merry Christmas from Aunty Jocelyn and himself.
Midday
38.6 degrees in the van. Only an occasional breeze now with a clear sky. Had
lunch sitting in the pool – so glad we have this.
Clouds
started coming over from the west about 2pm. The hot dry wind is back.
After
smoko we dragged the grid to try and smooth out the track. There are two very
sandy sections so when we got the grid bogged we were able then to flip it over
and drag it with the narrow end so it didn’t pick up so much sand. Did a few
more runs until ‘Pat’ decided he was hot enough. We cooled off in the pool too
with our drinks.
BBQ
dinner and there weren’t any mozzies about so we sat out on the lawn where it
was coolest. Heavy clouds have blocked the sun set but they don’t look like
they have any rain in them. The mozzies found us at last so we retreated to the
van.
8pm
34 degrees in the van so got our evaporative fan and the new fan working. All
good as the breeze was coming in the windows too. Our new cable to put the
sound from the TV through the speakers in the van works well – so much better
than straining our ears when the movie isn’t loud enough.
