Sunday 2nd November.
Well another great week has just flown by, time seems to go just as quick here as it did back in the UK. Nothing changes there then. Things are a bit strange when contacting people in the UK since the clocks went back there. We are now 10 1/2 hours ahead and makes calling people very interesting.
Worked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday again this week.
On Wednesday we took our empty bottles and cans to the re-cycling depot. Came out being 25 dollars better off. They pay you 10 cents per item if you take them to the correct point. This is great as it keeps the countryside tidy and people make a bit more money.
Took some photo's of the area we are living in, yes a building site at the moment.
After lunch we went for a walk along the beach. Here is the road to the beach from our house.
Whilst on our walk we both had to laugh at a chap and his wife trying to catch a crab. He decided to try to scoop it up out of the water with his hat. Was quite amusing to watch. The I found one and showed Tracy how it should be done, and I didn't use my hat.
This one was above the minimum size for keeping but I decided to put it back and allow it to live another day.
We also took some photo's of the seaweed that is around the area.
We then found a starfish and just had to snap that one.
This morning (Sunday) we were woken by a very large storm. We had thunder and lightning along with the biggest downpour of rain I have ever seen. It did not last for long and was only enought to wet the surface of the ground. We had a quick walk down the beach and took some photo's of the storm clouds.
Had a quick walk into the cheap shop in town, it is the only shop that is open on a Sunday. They have all the Christmas stuff in already, at least cards etc are very cheap here.
Had a quick walk along the pier after lunch and nearly got blown off the edge as the wind is still very strong. Time is now 5-00pm and sat down doing blog watching Aussie TV. At the moment we get 2 channels, but will be signing up for satellite very soon. At least then we will have a choice of what we watch.
Next update will be next Sunday.
Hi Guys,
Looks as though you are settling in ok. From the pictures seen you have found a nice area to live.
I would agree with you about the wather. Here its been hovering around freezing for the best part of the week but has warmed up today (Sunday).
Well, only 9 days until we go of to the USA for our months holiday. Its strange but in both areas it is still around 75F.
Well take care and look after each other!
