Off We Went And Here We Are
Doing a repeat house sit in Belair was almost like coming home: I already knew where the kettle was and where to go for my morning walk. The comfort didn't last long sadly: I worked two days, spent another day cleaning and packing, and then off we went on our next adventure.
You're leaving me? |
For all that there was so much to explore between Adelaide and Melbourne, as usual we just didn't seem to have the time. Mind you, there was always time for a cup of tea, over which I showed Roger the Landrover on the pole at Keith and he was suitably minimally impressed. The wind was cold and the sun was absent. We had a very brisk cup of tea.
Ho hum. |
Cold and cloudy turned into cold and rainy the next day. We hightailed into Melbourne with a quick break for smoko at Lake Learmouth.
Lake Learmouth relies on rainfall to fill, and the recent rain had obviously not been sufficient to produce a high tide. |
At least the picnic shelter was perfectly situated to oversee the lake while blocking the cold wind. |
We retired to our Air BnB and shut the doors against the cold rain outside, delighted to discover muffins and drinking chocolate in the fridge. That was it: we were settled for the night!
Enjoy your retirement Roger!! We hope to catch up one day with you both, hopefully when in Adelaide sometime, as we've not been there, but running out of holidays this year already. And booking week off to do mundane things such as put an internal roof, and insulation in the little cold house up on the hills.
