Wed, 4th
Warmer night, min 19 but only supposed to get to 22 today. Still cloudy.
It got to 25 in the camper with a bit more sun shining after lunch and with the camper closed up.
Started looking in our NZ trip in early 2026. Probably hire a motorhome for a couple of months. Rang Rebecca & Clive to ask about going to NZ as they do it a bit now that Ingrid lives there. They had a great time on Lord Howe Island and seeing their new granddaughter, Elizabeth. Heading over to NZ for Christmas with Ingrid and family then back for New Year celebrations with Megan and family. Will probably hire a motorhome for a couple of months. Sent off a message to Geoff & Virginia too as they have moved back over there.
Thurs, 5th
Sent Sam a happy birthday message. Sunnier morning.
Put a post on Facebook and Wendy commented so I rang her back and we had a lovely chat.
Got a new windscreen (free under our insurance) put in by O’Briens as we had collected a few chips - one in Steve’s eyeline and one was spreading across the bottom of the windscreen.
After lunch caught up with Shane and Doreen in Mandurah. Here for a couple of weeks catching up with family and their daughter in Perth. They have bought a house now in Bowen and will be selling their van as health issues are making it hard to travel.
Very windy afternoon - the sky all clear now.
Fri, 6th
Clear blue sky this morning and quite breezy. We are waiting for an east wind to be able to fish off the beach with Margaret.
Lovely chat with Kaylene. On school holidays now. Looking forward to relaxing then seeing her Mum in Melbourne after Christmas.
Washing and cleaning the camper day for me. Warming up - got to 28 today.
Steve had a big chat with Michael - the Cummins chap from home.
Fish & Chip night so I made my Passionfruit & Coconut Pie for dessert. There are so many passionfruit on the vine, juicy lemons and of course plenty of eggs from the chooks.
Very windy afternoon and into the night, rocking the camper.
Sat, 7th
Only a min of 16, we still close up the camper at night. Clear sky.
Max of 30 though the thermometer in the camper got to 33. Gusty wind on and off.
Baking day today. Steve pottering with his engine after talking to Michael yesterday.
Clouded over in the afternoon and a very dark cloud dropped some heavy drops on us but not much.
Video from Annalise of Beau saying ‘Mum Mum’ - Jon is heartbroken, haha.
Lovely photo of Sophia with a head band with big bow to try and keep her glasses on. She looks so cute.
The wind got very strong after dinner, buffeting the camper but it settled down when we went to bed.
Sun, 8th
Clear sky again, 18 degrees min and windy again.
Steve and I went for a walk along the path through the dunes to The Cut and back this morning. On one Bob-tail lizard to get by - no snakes. Very nice - light breeze. Lots of boats out with their craypots - dots everywhere. No dolphins at the Cut this time but chatted with some chaps who caught a nice feed of salmon off the end of the rock wall.
Told Margaret about the fish so we got some bait and will head out in the morning if it is still an easterly breeze like it was this morning.
Warmer day - got to 31 so we were very happy!!
Margaret’s son Brett and granddaughter Sidney called in. Great to see them again.
