Day 41 – 23rd February 2018 – Torbay Inlet near Albany

We had a funny/not funny moment here this morning.  I was sitting in my ‘Jetty’ (the nickname given to my big lay back stargazer chair by Col), sipping my coffee and enjoying the peaceful start to the day.  Clean washing dangled from the line above.  Just sitting and enjoying the serenity (before the Genny started).  Col was pottering around making bacon and eggs on the BBQ and doing a bit of a tidy up.  There is dark sand everywhere and we had a bit of rain overnight, so this has quickly turned to sticky mud and it was getting traipsed into the van constantly.  So Col thought he would do the right thing and whack the foot mat against the tree to clean it.  Only… he chose the one tree facing the van, the washing and me!  With one great thud against the tree, small blobs of mud went flying and splattered the washing and the van, and my face.  I even got some in my mouth hahaha.  He instantly knew he had picked the wrong tree.  Just one of those moments where I have looked at him, mouth gaping and he looked instantly sorry.  I very quickly started to laugh about it, it was a very funny moment.  Looks like I will be washing again today :)

There is rain predicted for today and tomorrow and it is meant to be pretty windy, so not great for fishing unfortunately.  We headed into Albany today to have a bit of a look around.

Still working on my cross-stitch, pretty sure it will take me the whole year to finish, but that is ok.  I will occasionally update on the progress (sorry Tania).

Col found this little visitor to our van last night.  Very cute!  Although I was in bed when he brought it in to show me and I was slightly paranoid he might jump out of Col’s hands to join me.  Luckily he stayed put.

Col finished the video edit of the scorpion in his fishing shirt that ended up in the car door.  Relieved he couldn’t get out!
