A very still morning, especially considering the very blowy evening. I had a horrible night of not much sleep and tossing and turning. So went outside to the patio around 5.30 and spent an hour out there with the birds and bugs, lol.  The sheep are very noisy in the morning and there were several emus making their thrumming noises as well.

It got too hot too quickly to do the station run so sat and chatted for a while after breakfast. The only other person staying in her motorhome came over for a chat as well. She’s lived in hers for 2.5 years and loves the grey-nomad life.

Accompanied the girls, Sam and Tess, on their feeding run, 2 cows, 3 donkeys, 2 alpacas, 4 lambs (still being bottle fed, though much to big for bottles, but there is still formula left over so instead of tossing it, the lambs may as well have it (I did feed one, lol) 5 rams and a few chooks. Didn’t even see the guinea fowl, they obviously feed themselves.

Oops, the mudlark just paid his visit to the kitchen window, silly beggar! He does it lots apparently.

Anyway, I grabbed the camera and headed out, planning on visiting the stromatolites at Lake Thetis, only to discover the road is being rebuilt with huge graders going up and down it, so headed to the Pinnacles instead. It’s changed quite a lot since we last visited. There’s now a really long road around the area, a great lookout and a discovery centre. Took lots of photos and then headed into Cervantes for lunch at the Lobster Shack. Very big place that caters for lots of international visitors, so it was rather quiet. Had chips, salad and lobster in garlic butter. Very nice indeed. I had a chat with one of the staff as I was leaving as I commented it would be a nightmare when it was very busy. He said their record was 1300 meals in one day!

Headed back to the stationand once again the wind had started blowing. It was so strong that, sitting out on the patio, I could feel the plastic chair under me rocking every so often, so I must have been moving too!!

Once again acompanied Sam and Tess, on the feeding run, but this time last years lambs got some too. What they didn’t eat is now being eaten by an emu.

Supposed to be a lot cooler tomorrow so hopefully the station run will be on if the wind stops.
