Cooler Friday

I just realised I forgot to post yesterdays blog as had done a draft earlier in case I added to it, then forgot as was tired after our busy day.  It is a lot more comfortable today and cooler this evening, actually put a cardigan on over my dress when we were sitting outside, but it was 9pm.

We walked into Fremantle this morning to buy fruit and salad stuff as Camila came to dinner this evening. We also got some super glue to mend Richard’s trainer which I am pleased to say is now fixed.  We then went to the beach for a few hours and had it almost to ourselves.

I was organised for dinner so we could chat with Camila when she arrived.  I put the oven on to heat up prior to cooking a spinach and feta quiche, one of our new favourites from Woolworths.  The oven went off after about ten seconds and we couldn’t get it to stay on and the instructions were no help.  Of course Camila was on time and we were still trying to get the oven to work.  She tried to help but none of us could get it to stay on.  In the end I telephoned Alison the manager of the house and she suggested a trip switch could have gone or we could try using timed cooking. The trip was fine and I am pleased to say the timed cooking worked, goodness knows why you have to do it that way as we didn’t have to do that last time we used it.  We joked to Camila we might be going to the fish and chip shop if we couldn’t get it working.  

We ate dinner outside and it was a very pleasant evening.

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. ...
