Good Morning Busselton!
Low 5°c (41°F) – High 14°c
(57°F)
It must have been a late night last night for our neighbours as there
wasn’t any movement this morning. We
couldn’t imagine a worse night spent in one of the swags they had some of the
kids sleeping in.
Today’s report is
brought to you by the number 10 (which is pretty much how cold it was for the
best part of the day) and the word “Disappointment”. Busselton Jetty has been one of the things I
have been most looking forward to seeing and photographing. The day could not have been worse for
photography, and coupled with that as we started to take photos a heavy
downpour of rain hit and we had to rush in to the gift shop for shelter until
it passed. It really didn’t pass, the
rain kept coming and the sky kept getting darker and in the end we gave up
having already got quite wet and not wanting to risk getting a cold.
So what do you do when
you can’t do what you’ve wanted? Retail
therapy of course. Although this retail
therapy was more around visiting an Op Shop to start hunting for things for
Halloween – little trinkets, clothing and belts that might serve as “pirate”
costumes for skeletons, scarves – yes I know – not exactly what most people
would be hunting for. However – it paid
off – a super pair of jeans that will be perfect for one of our scary props as
well as a scarf and some beads I can use as well.
Back to camp and occupy ourselves for the afternoon, we arrived to find
that our rear neighbours had gone out as well but had left a radio going with
an outdoor speaker sharing the station’s programming with the rest of the
camp. It wasn’t loud enough to make a
complaint, but it was loud enough that you could hear it constantly jabbering
on. Solution – turn the heater back on….. Seriously!
Neighbours arrived back to camp around dinner time and set up a TV out
under their awning to watch an AFL football match (including all the barracking
and slaying of the umpire) until about 9.00pm.
Clearly quite a bit more alcohol involved and the voices got louder and
louder. It was so cold we headed for bed
around 10.00pm but the party behind continued heading indoors around 10.30pm
with a singalong at 11.00pm in their caravan.
