Day 367 Bruny Island Sunday 29th January 2012

Hello,
A nice warm day here might have got to 30 I think. After breakfast we picked up Linda's phone from Julie and donated Linda our spare charger. We had volunteered to do some jobs around Linda's house today. I trimmed carpet and installed skirting boards and some quad in the shed she has had lined as a sleep out. It took me most of the day. I also coaxed her printer back into full working order. Susan swept out the shed, erected a gate/barrier in the woodshed, trimmed and trained creeping vines and installed a shade cloth infill in the pergola.
We were able to have a nice hot shower at the end of the day our first since we left Mount Field. We also had a nice lunch and have an offer to use the sleep out tomorrow night. We may accept this as the forecast is for heavy rain starting tomorrow. It is 22 here at 930pm with a few clouds on the horizon. I was debating whether we should pack up tonight and sleep in the swag or leave it till the morning. We have one more night after tonight before we head back to the mainland and will not be using the camper immediately so i would like not to have to put it up again Wednesday just to dry it. In the end laziness took over, besides it is more comfy than the swag mattress and space wise. Fingers crossed it is dry in the morning. Tomorrow we will drive down to Cape Bruny lighthouse. Walking is off the agenda at the moment as i now have 2 blisters on my right heel.
There has been some sort of boating get together in Quarantine Bay out front of where we are camped although i don't know how organised it is. There has been a large cruiser parked about 50 metres out front of our camp for 2 days invading our privacy. I hope they weren't too offended by my squatting over the "bush toilet" this morning. Susan was more considerate and I had to stand holding a sarong up to block any view. I am sure this is something you needed to know dear reader. I had a good chuckle whilst holding the privacy screen! I might also add the ground is that dry and hard it pays to prepare holes well in advance as it is not possible to dig a 30cm hole quickly.
On that note it's good night!

cheers Simon
