A good result in the State of Origin last night. 8th year in a row they have taken it out. Not that I am a football follower but it's good to see them win.
This morning I set up a blog for Allyson as she, like me, has always done a journal of their travels. Then when we did some sewing. Allyson is doing some embroidery and I did some cutting of 1" squares and drawing of 1/4" sewing lines so I can piece them. I bought some 5" charm packs in Kempsey yesterday and used the beige ones as I needed more of that colour.
While we were 'busy' at the van, Bruce and Ian had gone fishing for a few hours to the Macleay River but came back empty handed. They did enjoy themselves though and will try again tomorrow.
We went back to the Smoky Cape Café for afternoon tea before adjourning back to the Park and Allyson and Ian's van for happy hour. This caravan life is very hard to take. It is so laid back, you almost fall over! We have had an absolutely fabulous time and can't wait to do more of it.
As we were sitting at the van, I received a text from Lynne and Rob, friends of ours from Canberra. Lynne and Rob are the couple I had mentioned on an earlier blog post who have ordered a camper trailer which is being built in Brisbane and will be ready about October. They have been to Brisbane to see their daughter and were on their way home, earlier than planned due to the constant rain up that way. We have been very lucky with the weather, as the only real rain we have had were the first few days when we were in Armidale. Lynne and Rob had actually been in Armidale when we were there (when they were on their way up to Brisbane) but neither of us had known. Anyway, Lynne sent me a text to say they would be in SW Rocks about 6.30pm and did we want to go out for dinner.
Allyson and Ian were happy to have a quiet night, so the four of us went to the local Thai restaurant. We had a beautiful meal, freshly prepared. We had a great chat, catching up on all the latest news. The four of us get on really well and there is always plenty to talk about. They had actually booked a cabin at the same caravan park we are staying at. We will see them for breakfast.
