Evening folks
We awoke to the sound that this camper fears. The pitter patter of rain on the swag. Fortunately it was short lived but did return in the afternoon with a vengeance. After breakfast we strolled down to Lucky Ducks for coffee and a chat with Grant and Kelly catching up on their news. They have changed the layout giving them more table room. A definite improvement and their coffee is still good. We returned to the resort and did some minor house keeping before heading to see Amanda, Phill and baby Lola. Susan gave them a present for Lola, a cross stitch she has been labouring over for some time. We/I also consumed our first alcohol for the day. I needed it to calm my nerves as the rain bucketed down and my concern grew for our swag back at camp. Oh did i mention a fitting on our awning broke in the wind last night. At first glance it doesn't look to be repairable but the good news is the awning is still functional although we will know more when i have had a chance to investigate further.
We then popped up to see Lynne also a former resort employee. We had a good chat and a glass of wine or two before heading back down the hill for tea in the motel restaurant.
Phill knocked up a great custom meal for us and as usual was generous with the service of alcohol and food. At the end of the evening Susan was insisting she wasn't being charged enough to go along with refusing the free motel room offer from last night. She also committed us to copying some cd's before we leave. Looking at the schedule for tomorrow I would like to know when that is going to happen. Although as per usual it will get slotted in somewhere.
After some imbibing with dinner we visited the helpers in unit 7 where we scored some nice desserts made by Katherina.
I am now sitting in the car typing. Consequently any pictures relevant to today will have to wait until a later time. I am off to bed with a belly full of fine food, wine and beer and some nice memories of some lovely people.
night folks
Cheers Simon
