Day 3 - Tin Can Bay


 Evening Lovelies,

This morning we set the alarm for 6.30am so that we could go down and feed the dolphins at Barnacles.  It was a little chilly this morning with the temperature at 3 degrees, but the wind was a pretty gusty so it seemed cooler.  My family must love me that they got out of their warm beds at that time to go and paddle in the water.


We did think that there would not be so many people there due to it being a week day, but we were wrong.


We only saw one dolphin this morning, his name is Mystique.  He was the alpha of the pod and is about 28 years old.  He was very gentle and a little battered as you would expect from an animal of his age.  Andrew, Rob and I all took a turn at giving him a little treat.

 
Back to the van park for a cuppa and then Gramps gave Rob a lesson on how to put the annex up on the van.

 It did not seem too hard, and hopefully Robbie will remember how to put it up next time we need it.  They were thankful for Andrew's height to help when we had to move one of the posts.  I had the best job, sitting inside and watching until they were finished.



It was lovely this morning to get a message from the Monday Ladies.  I must admit that I knew it was a weekday, but forgot it was Monday.  How quickly I have moved into the world of no calendar.  The cards they are making today look wonderful.  I hope you all had a good time.

Lunch was at the Tin Can Bay Country Club, and was delicious.  Fabulous food, fantastic service, and lovely company.

After that we said farewell to Andrew who was returning to Toowoomba to work on Ruddigore which is showing this coming Thursday.

By then I needed my nap.  Robbie want to try his hand at a spot of fishing, and we finished the day with dinner at the cabin with Nana and Gramps.




My feet faced east tonight while we had a glass of bubbles before dinner.

Another super busy day had by all :-). 

Catch you soon.
Lizzy

    It all sounds fabulous Lizzy 💖 I didn't go to cards as I have a sore throat and I am mindful to not pass anything on to Dot or Sonia.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive plac...
