Col is diving again today so I have a day to myself. Started with washing the massive attractively ‘brown’ sheets we’ve been given. They’re now clean but still look unapologetically brown and grubby for some reason. Very happy with the laundry facilities here (easy domestics are crucial when travelling!). Had a nice chat with someone ironing (imagine!) then wended my way back to Matty.
Spent the morning online, with the luxury of functional wi-fi for a change. Booked some accom for next week and attempted to tidy my 6 million photos (failed with that - too overwhelming 😬)
Had an explore, walking round our site a bit. We usually stay in our immediate patch and tread the same paths, once we’ve found the areas we need.
Then caught the bus into downtown Airlie beach. Such a nice place, lots of little shops, lovely clothes shops (yes I succumbed). When packing at home you think you know what clothes are right for your given destinations, but they don’t always translate well and you end up wearing the same clothes all the time as they ‘feel right’. I could have left so much of my stuff behind and not missed any of it!
Had a lovely pedicure, my poor swollen ankles and feet needed a pamper….. Managed to negotiate the bus back, getting off at the right stop which is always a bonus.
We both arrive back from our respective days at the same time, have a quick cuppa, then go to the daily bird feeding here. Beautiful rainbow lorikeets are already lining the branches awaiting their daily feed.
A guy comes with a bucket of porridge like stuff which, if you want to be part of the feeding, you have to dip your hand into and I can feel it under my nails. Yuk. However it works and I get some takers. Their claws are sharp on my arm and one lands on my head, digging it’s talons into my scalp for grip. Ouch! It screeches sweet nothings into my ear with gay abandon. Great birds, fun, beautiful and very shrill! Sadly all Col gets out of the birdie encounter is shit on the back of his shirt!Okumaya devam et
Gezgin Do u share the driving??
Gezgin Hi Barry - short answer is no! My spatial awareness is zilch, so me driving a 7M long van would be unsafe for us and all Australia! Oh and there’s also the ‘not being able to comfortably reach the pedals’ situation!!
