7.30am
22 degrees, clear sky and light breeze. Got chilly in the early morning so had
to pull up the blankets.
Helped
Mark and Heidi reattach their awning after the wind ripped it off the other day.
Did
the washing – back to using my little twin tub – works well.
Only
a light breeze blowing but the heat is drying the clothes quickly. Steve has
found a nice intact green hand blown bottle but it doesn’t have any markings or
writing on it to work out what it had in it. Under the tree I found a Peck’s
food paste contained – looks like a handlebar grip off a pushbike.
There
was also a tin lid like the tobacco ones but this one said Chocolate and Cocoa
company so I wonder what was in it.
Gave
Kaylene and Rick a call. Still raining. They were having a drive around
Yungaburra and Tinaroo Dam.
Lunch
32 degrees.
Drove
into Leonora to top up the truck’s water tanks and then out to the homestead to
see Kym and Glen. They had picked up my solar light that I had left in the tree
at 10 Mile. ‘Roo’ is growing well and the calves are now out with the other
bigger calves. Had a nice afternoon chatting. Kym gave me a container of her
yummy pumpkin soup which we will enjoy.
Home
for drinks with Heidi and Mark and their friends that are parked nearby. Claus
and Mona and their friends Wolfgang and Kristina. They did some opal digging at
Lightning Ridge years ago together and they showed us some of their lovely
collection. Said our farewells as they are heading off to another area to
detect and we are heading up to our 40E spot back on Tarmoola Station but west
of where we were staying.
6.30pm
33 degrees and no wind. We watched the highlights of the Supercars racing in
Tasmania on the laptop. Two years ago Malcolm was racing his little car there
in a support group too and we saw him on the TV as it poured with rain and here
he was sitting in his open cab car getting drenched.
8.30pm
the breeze has picked up from the south and is cooling things down again.
