Doings

 I feel like we are marking time till we can see the house we want to rent. Even so we have been filling our days.

We take Heidi for a walk each day. It has been on the beach for the last few days. This morning we went to MacMasters beach, as we did on Monday. It is a surf beach with a stream running into the ocean from a lake.

Yesterday's beach walk was at Pearl Beach. There was also a stream running down it which is something you rarely see in WA. There was also a view of Lion Island and loud and splooshy waves with lots of foam. Heidi sensibly stayed out of the water, except for the stream where she had a drink. It must have been fresh water.

On the way to Pearl Beach yesterday we visited Patonga. We had to drive through the Brisbane Water National Park and there were wildflowers out!!! Unfortunately Heidi had to stay in the van and it was coming on to rain so I only got out for a couple of minutes and only got a couple of photos. I'm itching to get back there.

The roads were very wet and pot holey and muddy at Patonga. Like a lot of places around here. It makes for exciting driving.

Other daily things are to drive over to see Doug's parents and so Doug can practice the piano. He will be playing at Aunty Margaret's funeral on Friday. Aunty Margaret is Doug's Mum's twin sister.

Then, of course, there are websites to look at for houses, Centrelink and jobs to apply for (Doug) and food to prepare and eat and I have been doing onlinechats with placement students in WA ...
