30th July – Thursday
Following our pleasant afternoon playing bowls yesterday, we are both suffering from the effects of only having played one game in more than two months. The legs muscles are a trifle stiff!
It is amazing the number of people of stop, look at Cat and then just stay and talk. One lady now stops and looks every time she goes past, just to see if he has moved! The lady’s husband has hurt his back, is unable to drive and has to fly back to Melbourne. As she can’t tow the caravan, they are waiting here now until their son can arrange time off work to fly up and drive their caravan home, as well as the husband being well enough to sit in a plan for a number of hours. At least this is a nice place to be stuck.
The owner of this park, and his son, are absolutely amazing at talking drivers onto sites. The son has a 13 week old Jack Russell which sometimes goes to work with him. Today she was in a spot of bother, being a bit unwilling to come when called and ended up on a lead.
This morning we decided to check out some of the northern beaches and headed for Clifton Beach, but unfortunately, the south easterly wind made the beach a little unpleasant and the Coral Sea was rather rough and stirred up. Cat found a nice little palm tree to sit under and watch the locals, though. We also drove into Kewarra and Trinity Beach – we were amazed at the huge number of holiday units at Trinity, some were rather swish too.
We called into Smithfield Shopping Centre on our return (someone needs some more Boags!) and discovered that Lenards have a shop at this complex. We stocked up on curry chicken parcels, chicken mignons and chicken curry sausages. Will start to cluck soon!
A small shower of rain this afternoon and a drop in temperature to 26. Hopefully the slow moving high actually starts to move soon!
