Evening viewers,
We departed Arthur River around 11 this morning. Susan is still suffering with her back.
The highlight of the morning was when I emptied the left over dish water from the bucket. I could see a dark shape and it was indeed as i suspected and Susan suggested, a mouse, very drowned and very stiff. It looked a bit smaller than the one we saw yesterday so maybe we need to set a trap in the trailer.
We drove along the Bass Highway stopping at Burnie which is the hub of the NW. I shopped in the Jaycar agency for a few must have bits and we took the opportunity to fill a street rubbish bin with our garbage from Arthur River. Since they charge you to park every where in the business district I figured this is to cover the cost of rubbish removal! Honestly they are parking meter crazy in Burnie and Devonport. We also stopped at Coventry Fasteners to obtain a locking pin for the bike rack. None in stock but reassuringly there are 300 of the size i want in Kilburn, SA.
We travelled to Ulverstone where i picked up a bag of chips for lunch since i couldn't find a bakery. On to Devonport for a quick visit to Woolworths for milk to feed our voracious coffee habit and a pretty decent coffee in the cafe adjacent Woolies.
We arrived at Kay and Eric's around 430 and after saying hello to Eric went to examine the garden plantings and to see the progress from our last visit.
There are with us 5 helpers here at the moment but 2 leave tomorrow and one is staying here but working away. Susan has instructed that i have to work longer hours to make up for her current infirmity. We shall see!
After the requisite unloading and a good pasta tea from Kaye and Susan followed by yummy desserts we are now tucked up in bed and eager to do some jobs tomorrow. I shall have to watch my meal portion sizes else i will be stacking weight back on!
I intend to spend my evenings here planning our camper trailer modifications. The water tank is now back on the agenda.
Night folks
Simon
