Saturday was a fairly quiet day, apart from a trip to
Rusty’s for our fresh fruit and vegetable supplies. Red paw-paw is now in plentiful supply – very
nice and refreshing with lime juice squeezed over. Himself spent the afternoon thinking about
washing the caravan.
Sunday was also another day to catch up on some house work
(the bathroom and floors do require occasional cleaning!) and to continue
thinking about washing the caravan. We
have had a couple of very cool mornings, with the temperature dropping to 10
degrees, but up to 24 by 9.00 am. This
afternoon was “Sundaes on Sunday” near the caravan park swimming pool, with the
owners providing the makings for ice cream sundaes. Lots of happy faces, including a black and
white one who fronted up for a serve.
Monday morning necessitated a trip to Edge Hill to arrange
an appointment for a birthday gift from my son and his family – now looking
forward to Thursday morning. The caravan
still hasn’t been washed.
Monday afternoon was time to feed the fish again in the
creek beside the caravan park. One of us
walks up and down the bridge while the other just sits and tosses bread. We had been there for a while, enjoying the
tranquillity, when I spotted a snake in the water and loudly called out,
“Snake!” The one sitting down managed to
get to his feet in half a second flat.
We watched the snake until it disappeared under a rock. Research revealed the snake to be a
slaty-grey snake, common around waterways in the Cairns region. Needless to say, today was the first time I
hadn’t taken the camera with me.

You should have taken your chicken for a walk. Snake would have loved it.
