Weekend delights

I think this might be the first time I've actually posted a blog using my laptop/computer.  I'm procrastinating, got 4 baskets of washing to put away and/or iron.  Today has pretty much been a home catch up day.  Tim had to work a 12 hour day yesterday (annual shut down of the building) plus he's got a cold, so he was pretty exhausted when he got home last night.  I had a Lutheran Church of Australia Finance meeting all day.  Lauren and Sadie popped in for an easy KFC chip dinner and catch up.  It was easier last night than today, as Fathers Day meant that they had the Hookings clan around.

So today I did a 10km fun run with my friend Patricia at Carisbrook Reserve, Salisbury.  Had a great morning doing something different.
Then I got stuck into the food preparation for the week ahead.  Boiled eggs for Tim's breakfast, home made yoghurt, soaked and boiled beans with tuna for Tim's lunchs and smoko, cauliflower, broccoli blitzed salads with parsley, avocado for my lunches, fruit and chia seed pots.  Plus a goat curry cooking behind me.  And baked almond biscuits.



And the darling man himself enjoying his sardines on toast for lunch.

We pottered on the garden last weekend, it was such delightful weather.  However we were both feeling a bit cold and tired to do anything today.  Tim did the lawns though and the blossoms and leaves are starting to bud on all our fruit trees which is exciting.






And I went to church with this little poppet last Sunday.  Eloise enjoying adding more and more flags to her clay heart...flying the flag of joy for Jesus.

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

Image
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...
