7.30am
33 degrees, breezy which made it ok for sleeping.
Graded
the track again with the grid. The grid gets bogged in the soft sandy section
but the rest is getting smoother.
Cuppa
in the pool – hot wind blowing well so when you get out wet it feels
refreshing.
Pottered
about.
Midday
41 degrees in van. Steve decided to move the fire pit and make it ‘pretty’. He
put it in a busted wheel rim for better support then put quartz rocks around
the base – still needs a few more yet. Just the thing to do in hot weather!!
2pm
43 degrees. Steve set up one of the pop up sprinklers on a verandah post so the
water can spray across the grass so I don’t have to move the little sprinkler
as we don’t have heaps of water here and I sometimes forget about the little
sprinkler.
Mr
Bustard came for a visit at smoko. He wandered across towards the water tank
then down the track where he knelt down then rolled in the soft sand. Did that
a couple of times then wandered off.
Dark
clouds blocking out the sun which has made it more bearable. Put ice in the
pool for drinks as the water is getting a bit warm now.
Steve
burnt our rubbish in his newly decorated fire pit – looks like the Olympic
cauldron burning. Should have taken a photo.
Had
dinner outside as it was cooler sitting out on the grass. Mum rang while we
were having dinner so rang her back a bit later and we chatted about the
weather there – rain, rain and cool 26 degrees and the heat here, 43 degrees
and no rain.
Grasshoppers
and beetles have covered the awning outside the van as we leave the fluoro on
to keep them away from the door of the van.
10.30pm
35.6 degrees with 2 fans blowing and the hot wind blowing in the window –
better than no wind I suppose.
Turned
off the generator and put on the 12 volt evaporator fan which did the trick so
we could sleep.
