Wet Monday

Last Friday, we planned on visiting the DFO to check out the new shop, Trade Secrets, which had opened the day before – Himself needed some new T-shirts – and then have lunch at Cazaleys.  Our plans started out well, a T-shirt was purchased at Ralph Lauren but before we even reached the new shop, he developed a migraine and had to retire home for a sleep.  We didn’t do anything else on Friday.

Saturday, with Himself feeling better after a good sleep, and after having morning coffee with another couple at their caravan, we actually made it to Cazaleys for lunch (some very nice snapper and Tasmanian Atlantic salmon) and even managed to purchase another T-shirt before needing to return home.  The weather for the last two days had been absolutely glorious, no clouds and definitely sitting in the shade.

Sunday saw the weather start to slowly deteriorate – and the arrival of James and Maureen before lunch.  It didn’t take long for us to start catching up on news!  We spent a fairly quiet day, apart from talking, as Himself was still feeling the after-effects of his migraine.  We enjoyed a rather large Happy Hour, with not only James and Maureen coming to visit, but also Eddie and Christina (from Hobart) and Brian and Maree (friends of Denise).  When a sudden shower happened, we all became very good friends, moving closer under the awning to avoid the drips.

We had a couple of very heavy downpours overnight and this morning was very overcast – still hot and so humid.  The laundry went straight from the washing machine to the dryer today – the ulterior thinking was that if I used the dryer, it wouldn’t rain.  It didn’t either, until mid afternoon!  We took Cat for a ride this afternoon to have an ice cream – he is starting to get cabin fever and is suffering quite badly with the humidity.  Keeps mumbling that we don’t have fur coats …  It was nice to see the tide was almost in, with a large number of water birds enjoying the mud.
