Saturday ... 19 June

Up ultra early to be ready to leave for the 1.5hr trip to Geraldton. Got to see the other exit/entry to town right before a kangaroo big enough to have fallen off a qantas jumbo bounced across the road along with a medium sized mate. Not happy. All set for a lovely day out and wham, got smacked right between the eyes with a nasty reminder of things I had hoped were long behind me. Silly of me I know but had more or less forgotten the existence of the horrid beasts.  As luck would have it himself had not put the pedal to the metal as we had just passed the 110km sign, so a bit of fancy driving got us out of the way. Took the shine off the day for me and I forgot to look at the passing shoreline and sadly did not get to see it on the way home as we came home in the dark, once again dodging all manner of things that hop. As well as occasional roos, Kalbarri also has lots of rabbits. Have seen the evidence when out walking but until tonight have not seen the rabbits. The day in town was long and tiring, we all came home with sore legs. I believe the men bought all manner of things as men do when they go to town. The girls raided she-bunnings and made good use of the 20% off sale. A very short happy hour tonight followed by a small dinner of pre-prepared pie and all have retired very early. Tomorrow the lads will tidy away the mess in the new shed and stand around and discuss how clever they were to build it between them. I need to sew some calico into long tubes for the storage of fishing rods to prevent them rubbing against each other in their little home under the caravan. With any luck the rest of the day will be a rest day......
