6am
25 degrees, overcast with the sun peeking out under the cloud band in the east.
No breeze. Everything feels fresh after the rain last night.
Headed
off to Kalgoorlie – water across the track as we head out and in a few other
spots but certainly nothing compared to the drenching we had in December.
Ground
hardly wet the further west we headed along out track to the main road. Down
the highway and there was water along the side of the road but all dry in
Leonora. A few sprinkles of rain as we continued south. Most of the number
plates that covered the old servo at Menzies have been removed – maybe someone
bought them? Sky clearing as we near Kalgoorlie.
Got
a new rim for our spare as it was one of the original ones and the last to
break the weld. Bought a new battery for the truck too. Did the rest of our
shopping then after lunch picked up the groceries and headed home. Clouds have
started coming across now.
Dark
clouds in the west and east again as we drove into the homestead. The wind is
blowing in the storms too. Dropped off Kym and Glen’s groceries and topped up
with fuel then had a drink with them before heading home. They had some rain as
the track out to the mine was quite wet in spots. Lightning flashing around us
all the way home.
As
we came over the hill on our track we spotted a bright light in the bush. I
thought it could have been the drillers working late – it was after 7pm. Will
check it out in the morning.
Easy
dinner – hot chook on a bun then unloaded the groceries and packed it all away.
No more rain here though the storms are around us.
All
quiet when we went to bed.
