Looking forward to seeing Gavin tomorrow

Well, second Monday in the house and all going well.  We went shopping then did a quick clean of the house.  I spent a whole 5Aud on a new sponge head, that’s under £3.  We will remove it before we leave, I would rather throw it than leave it for Alison.  Talking to Liz who lives next door, Alison is the manager of the property and not the owner and she has been very unhelpful to us and I may have said in a previous post, she refused to supply a new mop head!  We then had lunch and headed for South Beach about 2pm as it is very hot here today, about 33 degrees and hardly any breeze.  It was truly lovely and we swam  twice in the ocean and walked along the beach to dry off.  The second time I was swimming I had loads of little fish, don’t know what they were, swimming around my feet.  After school time,  the beach got busy with teenagers and younger children all enjoying a dip, the photo shows a busy swimming platform which so many people swim out to and dive from.

We came back, showered,  I did a bit of ironing, very quickly as was still hot then sat out the front on the porch to read my book.  I had mentioned to Liz next door I needed a fringe trim and she has arranged for someone who does hairdressing at home to trim it on Thursday, people are so helpful.  She also mentioned she knows loads of people who would like to have reliable house sitters, so we will exchange details before we leave and see what happens.

We are not sure of plans tomorrow as we will wait and see what Gavin wants to do, I expect it will involve a swim in the ocean at some point.  It is so lovely to wake up to beautiful weather each day.

Caversham Wildlife Park

Richard suggested we visited Caversham again as the weather has been cooler and cloudy today and perfect weather to walk round a wildlife park.  It hasn’t changed much, sad there were no Quokkas to be seen this time, we forgot to ask why though.  The kangaroos seem to have a much larger enclosure and are laid back as ever. One reason to return was that Lisa had told me you can now not only see and stroke the koalas but hug one as well.  This is the only thing to cost extra to the entrance fee.  We got concession entry tickets as we are old!  I was so fortunate to get the last place to hold a koala at the 3pm session, everything else had gone.  A lady asked about it and we beat her by about two minutes, phew I was so excited, doing this for you too Lisa x. We looked around and saw a few animals and birds we hadn’t seen on our last visit and walked in the kangaroo enclosure which as I said was huge.  We saw a couple of mum’s laying down resting and their...

Woodman Point Beach

We went to pick up Gavin from his house ready to go to the beach and I went to his door but on the driveway I was called by a guy from the development.  He introduced himself as Howard and obviously thought I lived at Gavin’s because he asked if he could have a look inside at how the owners had renovated it.  He explained he has had his property for 11 years but has let it out and lived in his other house in Coral Bay.  As he and his wife are getting older, 75 they decided to move back to Fremantle as it is more convenient for shops, doctors etc and wanted to renovate and had heard how Gavin’s landlord had knocked a wall down in the kitchen. It was so funny as he was so friendly, Gavin said it is typical of Aboriginal people, then he called his friend, a guy from Yorkshire to have a look too.  Gavin was great and showed them around and then Richard came searching for us as we had been so long, he had parked out on the road.  We eventually set off for the beach. ...
