I had about 4 hours of good sleep, but then had trouble getting back to sleep. There was a lot of rain during the early hours of the morning, which was quite loud. I ended up getting up before 6, and everybody else was already up. Some eggs on toast for breakfast had me ready to take on the day.

We sat in the kitchen chatting, and more rain came. The goats and chooks came to say hello, as well as a couple of magpies. Eventually there was a break in the rain, so we took the opportunity to head across to the main land. Rese and Kai showed us the block – they had done quite a lot of work since I was last there! We hit the road around 8.45.

No big things to visit today – we just drove to Nick’s house, and were there by 11.30. We spent a couple of hours re-arranging things – an adjustment needed to be made to the trailor hitch, we had to put the spare wheel on the roof so the trailor could get on as a result of the adjustment….it was all done in time for us to watch Hawthorn defeat GWS (Nick and Georgia (his daughter) are mad Hawthorn supporters).

We went to dinner at the chinese restaurant nearby, and then came back to enjoy a quite drink and some sambucca, before calling it a night.
