A happy weekend

I was so excited about the weekend. I was feeling better, no work stress and lots of fun activities planned.

Friday night date night included a good catch up with Orla and Mum popping through on her way to help Marianne for the weekend. 

Sat was a good session at Johns gym and a Kicco coffee after with just my husband and no extras in tow 😉. 

Giselle had her 8th birthday party with her school buddy Mariella, a disco theme. We took an esky full of ice-cream (Lauren organised to store in our freezer) which the children enjoyed choosing what flavour and topping they wanted on it.  There were about 30 children screaming and dancing and having a ball. I was on Sadie duty whilst Sonya hosted the party, but she was great, running around enjoying herself.

Giselle made a couple of speeches, thanking her parents, Sonya and guests. Wow, how confident and clear she spoke! 

On Sunday I went to the early church and then met Tim at the camping and caravan show. I was hoping for more stalls with “bits”, accessories and goodies to go with you camping and caravanning but I was disappointed. Mostly just vans and campers on display. I’m not that keen to look at them anymore now we’re got our new one (yet to used!!).  Tim got his electrical bits and pieces and we headed home for chores and a nap before going into the Adelaide Fringe.

I bought Giselle and Lauren tickets to 

This was a light hearted show with acrobatics, trampolining, strength and random fun acting. 

Work has been draining today, employee performance issues, particulary around respect for others, needed addressing.

Cape York Day 4 (1) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Image
Took our time leaving Karumba this morning, that’s what holidays are. Coffee on the waterfront, talking to some local boys about the fish they caught.  Drove round the other side of Karumba where it faces the Cape of Carpentaria, picked a couple of green mangoes which are now in the car to ripen. Drove through station country to the Mitchell River, which we bravely decided to cross. Bra on the car so that was $160 Tim was glad he spent.  The countryside was full of these huge ant hills. And scattered everywhere.

Cape York Day 4 (2) Karumba to Musgrave Roadhouse

Gate girl! A beautiful spot here at Musgrave. When we hit the Peninsula Developmental Road Tim was bitterly disappointed to find out that it’s been bitumen-isd. But this Roadhouse is on a lovely spot above a current dry river, lots of green grass, only a couple of people camping. And the best weather yet, cool breeze and probably 28 degrees. Really pleasant.

Cape York Day 7 Weipa to Fruit Bat Falls

Image
The plan today was to go to Eliot Falls to camp for two nights. Eliot Falls is on the Old Telegraph Track, a very hairy 4WD track which Tim did years ago with Anthony. There are two entry points to the falls from the main road which Tim thought was closer/easier and I didn’t double check the plans with him.  Anyway the day didn’t quite work out as we thought. The drive from Weipa to Bramwell Junction was easy, a few more giant anthills at Bramwell Junction.  A check of the battery power, Tim’s latest concern 😉. But all is working well after a solid charge at Weipa last night. The roadhouse and sign to the old track. We chatted to the girl at the roadhouse who said that there was a water crossing to get to Eliot Falls from the South entry of the track so we did a loop round to come in from the North.  This involved 15km on the Peninsula Road, 7km on 4WD track to meet up with the Old Telegraph track and then another 7km on the Old Telegraph track. We hadn’t got far down th...
