28th August – Friday
More boring hot weather and a beautiful, clear day. Let’s hope that Tasmania’s weather improves in the next few weeks!
After completing the necessary housework this morning and discussing nothing with neighbours, we decided to check out shade cloths at one of the local camping stores – something that would be suitable to attach to the end of our awning and provide a bit of shade when needed. Unfortunately, the ready mades were the wrong size, so will make something to fit when we get home.
Then it was Rusty’s Market and a chance to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables, especially avocadoes. We will definitely miss these after leaving Cairns. Of course, it would have been very rude to pass by the ice cream shop and not make a purchase! Something else that will be missed.
There are some large trees in the centre of Cairns that are home to a large number of fruit bats. From the mess on parked cars and the footpath underneath the trees, it is not the best of places to stop and ponder the meaning of life. The bat droppings are a disgusting bright yellow colour, large and sloppy. Need I say more!
This afternoon was spent working on the second Cat movie, but this is still a work in progress as photos are added. Interested persons will just have to wait!!! Due to the heat outside and the air conditioner inside, someone came inside to lay on the bed and read his book. An hour and a half later … We sat outside for an afternoon coffee and the same person complained about his eyesight being very blurry and after much rubbing, removing and replacing glasses, realised the reading glasses aren’t exactly designed for distance vision! Nothing to do with age, of course.
