I think we were in need of a rest. We had a lovely sleep in, then caught up with our friend Maurice for a few hours. This was a much better chat than we had managed at the sprint event a few days prior. It was unlucky for him that he had to make another trip to Bendigo from ACT due to car troubles the previous weekend, but every cloud has a silver lining and this was the lining for us.
Trevor still got stir crazy and needed to go out for a walk, so I sent him out on his own to explore some more on the 10th. He did another 6km walk, crossing the weir to NSW, cutting through the club grounds and coming back across the main bridge. He even spotted a delightful pub for us to visit later.
We had a good chat with our lovely niece Kate (can’t believe she is 17) for her birthday as we sat in the sunshine, sipping red wine and eating cheese and crackers.
We have eaten cooked breakfast twice while we have been here – once pancakes and once eggs and bacon cooked by the staff here at the resort. We had to set our alarms to get to breakfast by 9am as we seem to have developed even worse sleeping habits while away. Maybe getting home to our normal routine will fix that.
We caught up with Kaye (an old school friend of Erica’s) for lunch one day and had a really good catch up on what we have been doing with our lives in the 40 or so years since we were at school together. (but forgot to take a photo)
One of our fellow residents came knocking on the door to let us know that he had backed into us in the carpark, but there seems to be damage to his car and not ours. His wife wasn’t too happy with him.
The rain is back and is predicted to be plentiful tomorrow as we head for home, so we are hoping that we manage to miss the worse of it as we drive. It might be a slow and careful drive and I doubt that we will use the swags on the way home.
