Friday...10 May 2013

Nice quiet day, just us and the trucks! Didn't hear a thing last night but was wide awake at 6 am when the trucks started rolling again for the day. We hear they are expecting rain in the next day or so.
Was extra lucky this morning. The bloke in the caravan beside us is a retired astronomy professor and was able to lend me special glasses to look at the annular solar eclipse and explain it all to me.

We will move north tomorrow morning and if we are lucky we will miss the rain and the associated cool change that it will bring.
Aiming for Coober Pedy so anyone trying to ring Himself for his birthday tomorrow may have to be patient and keep trying. There will be phone reception in the town but even with the big black aerial attached to the beaut ute, my phone will probably be out of range for most of the day. Those calling tomorrow may want to kill two birds with the one stone as heaven knows where we will be come Sunday........
