29th July – Wednesday
The rain has gone and the skies have cleared today. Temperature was probably in the high 20’s, very pleasant in the shade.
We went for a walk this morning around the very nice houses in the subdivision behind the caravan park – definitely a nice place to have a house. All the houses either have room for a horse (not just a pony) or are double blocks. We discovered a walkway through to the main road, which did mean having to walk along the side of the road on the return. He who says there aren’t any snakes about walked in front – just in case! We came across a couple of cannonball trees – definitely not a tree one would sit under. The fruit of this tree aren’t called cannonballs just because of their shape!!!
This afternoon we played a game of bowls at the Stratford Bowls Club – a very friendly club with a few interstate visitors, including a couple from Launceston. We played two games of ten ends each, with afternoon between the games. Scoring was a little different and my team was pipped at the post on a countback. Next week, especially with a prize of $20 per person! The grass green was extremely fast (to us) and took a bit of getting used to. However, one of the locals made a comment after we had finished that the green was very heavy today following the rain. Hate to think what it is normally like!
Have just found out we have to worry about legionnaires now, as well as swine flu and dengue fever.
