    Emily’s 41st Birthday!

    September 17, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We were both up about 7.30am.
    Magnificent day.
    Already felt hot and the forecast was for 27 degrees and sunny.

    I bought all of Emily’s presents out to her table outside Bumper.
    Lacey, as always, ripped the paper off the presents.
    I gave Emily a dog lead, dog bowls and a REAL Pony stuffed toy for her puppy.
    ( I bought Lacey a stuffed toy when I got her and we play with ‘Pony’ all the time.
    It took Daryl to point out that it was actually a Cow.)

    So.... I found a REAL Pony for Emily’s puppy.
    ( Daryl would be proud!)

    And a lovely sterling silver necklace and chain.
    She loved everything.

    Then we headed for our walk around the lake and towards the beach.
    It was hot and just wonderful wandering the water.

    The tide was high but still coming in.
    We watched the huge rush of water coming into the lake.
    It is fascinating.
    “ Do the little fish want to go out to sea or are they fighting to stay in the lake?
    “ How do the crabs make all those round balls of sand and toss them out of the hole in a perfect star pattern?”
    “ Why are there circular depressions in the sand, under water, 12” diameter?”

    We have so much fun wandering.

    Back to camp.
    Emily had a couple of meetings.
    Would be free after 11am to move Bumper to Site 66.
