20th to 25th Nov, 2023 Geck Beach House, Woodgate, Qld

Mon, 20^th

Rain started at 5am which will make the grass happy again. It rained constantly all day so lucky we put up the awnings.

Next door neighbour Ted said we had 50mm by the late afternoon.

 

Tues, 21^st

More rain during the night.

Jodie’s birthday today so will ring her tonight when she finishes work.

The sun is trying to peek through the clouds by the later afternoon.

Neighbour on the other side said she measured 76mm of rain over the two days. Well that should make the grass grow now.

After dinner we ran Jodie to wish her a happy birthday and so she could chat with Terry as we missed her call when she rang for Terry’s 90^th.

 

Wed, 22^nd

Headed off early into Bundaberg. Steve in the truck as he had jobs to do and Terry & I in his car. Drove through a shower of rain on the way.

Did our shopping and headed back after lunch. We have bought a new automatic washing machine to replace the twin tub to make things easier. Black Friday sales were on so got a good discount.

Looking brighter so I got started on some washing still using the twin tub which of course I am used to as we have a little version of it for our travelling. There is a water tank here so I use that water to pull some water out of the tank as it overflowed with all the rain.

Steve came back with the new washing machine that he picked up for us.

We went for a late walk so it was twilight as we reached Banksia Park in the south end and spotted a small possum on the ground. He stood his ground and we walked around him then he bounded after us then straight up the tree beside us. Of course I didn’t have my camera!

 

Thurs, 23^rd

Lovely sunny day so got all the washing done using the twin tub and the tank water. Wanting to get some water out of it before more rain falls and it overflows as it is nearly full.

Steve started work on installing the new washing machine and making wooden stands for it and the fridge to keep them off the ground in case of flooding.

We are having a change around under the house and decided to put the machine near the door. David has picked up some more open cupboards with feet which are great. I will get some boxes so we can cockie proof things too.

Worked on my blog. It is always great typing up my blog as I get to relive it all again.

 

Fri, 24^th

 

Steve worked on truck things, I sorted things in the house.

 

Continued with my blog.

 

 

 

Sat, 25^th

 

Grey sky again so I worked on my blog again, slowly getting through it.

 

Steve pulled out the leaking aluminium water tank which had been playing up for a while now. He then pulled out the other one and it was buckled too so will get two new plastic ones from Polymate as they are made in Bundaberg.

 

Supercars last two races this weekend for the year at Adelaide street circuit so we settled in to watch the first race this afternoon.

 

David arrived just as the racing finished. We unloaded the cupboards then had drinks and chatted till dinner.
