As we crossed the border into NSW this afternoon Gaz gave a
little cheer. He reckons our luck is set to change now we’re back on ‘home’
soil. And this is hard to question as it certainly seemed that way today. It
rained as we drove through Maryborough this morning, a disturbingly light rain
that sort of just settled on the windscreen and refused to move on. Luckily, the
shower lasted only 20 minutes or so. Kev and Maz left 10 minutes before us and
said they didn’t experience any precipitation at all. Gaz has a theory that a
raincloud is travelling above our car, ready to smite us at will, toying with
our nerves as it teases and taunts us, while it leaves everyone else alone.
We are so excited to settle in here for three nights. It’s a great cabin – the best so far – two bedrooms, a really good size kitchen, dining, and lounge area, a fabulous verandah with outdoor setting, and all only metres from the beach. As you sit out the front, not only do you hear the waves, you can also see them through the vegetation that is home to heaps of native birds. Just beautiful.
After settling in and unpacking, Gaz went grocery & wine shopping while I took a walk on the beach and did the laundry. What a great demarcation of duties! Maz & Kev came over for dinner – a BBQ a la Gaz & Pen, followed by a Chef Kev inspired fruit salad. It was then time to clear it all away for the continuation of the big Euchre challenge. This time the tournament was taken out by the girls, so it’s now even stevens I believe. There was a disturbing moment when Gaz was accused of ‘table talk’ and commenced actually talking to the table. Bizarrely this was achieved in a pseudo-Russian accent, leaning down and whispering to the table. As strange as this all was, when he claimed that the table was talking back, we really did fear for his sanity. Maybe the stress is taking its toll…
No big plans for tomorrow – could be a rest day … we certainly need a stress-free day after the last week or so. Fingers crossed the weather allows us to enjoy this beautiful beach.
