Hi all, the TV just told me it is Sunday 16 th March. I am lying in my comfy bed watching ABC news. It is just 0800 and Reece has just arrived back with the Sunday papers. I have been awake for a while sending email to William and Wilson. Seems I sent some pics to William rather than Wilson... Had a little banter with William on email this morning. He must be on night shift. He does have such a wicked sense of humour.
We were keen to see first thing this morning who had won the Tas election, and as predicted it was a landslide for the Liberals. The labour had been in power for 16 years, so well and truly ready for a change, without the greens causing issues. It has been interesting to listen to the ABC radio each day with the election issues. They are all the same issues as we have except the forestry. But no one can really explain to me what goes on there. Seems the industry is falling apart. Such a stuff up in WA having another ballot soon. Not sure how we will vote as unable to get a postal vote as we don't have anywhere in Tas to send it. I spoke to the electoral commission last week. I will ring again this week as they told me we can go to polling booth in Tas but they didn't know where that would be, but this week they will.
We had fun with Viv... Mayfield Beach near Swansea was perfect. Campsite very protected from the afternoon breeze, view to the ocean an perfect to observe other campers who were very entertaining. Reece went fishing, Viv and I walked along the beach, and had a refreshing dip each day. Water cool... But lovely and clear.we had a wander around Launceston before Viv left on Tuesday, then Reece and I had a drive to Evandale. Another pretty village. Friday night was fun. We stayed at the Sebel hotel in town and went to Birthday dinner for friend Jill.it was an Italian restaurant very similar to the Roma. I loved meeting Jill's friends. We will catch up with them on the road. Jill and Joe are picking up a new caravan in Melbourne this week then setting off indefinitely. We enjoy their company. Sat morning we went to the Launceston Harvest Market which is like the Albany market in that only local produce is sold by they growers. So we did buy some yummy goats cheese and beautiful fresh veg and berries. Then I went on a short river cruise on the river while Reece went off to the kayak shop. Such a beautiful day on the river as there was a big rowing regatta and the cruise boat weaves its way along the course.
Last night it rained and rained. It is so cosy with the rain. I have my windows open so I have lovely cool air wafting in and the sound of the rain fab. Today we will tidy up as we are leaving Longford tomorrow and heading to the lakes then will do the north west and depart Tas on April 17.
Wow what a fantastic win by the Dockers on Friday. Looking forward to a stellar season.
We are hooked on my kitchen rules TV programme. So 7.30 each nigh sun to wed we watch it.....
Better make a move now.
Looking forward to my raspberries and blackberries on my cereal.
Lots of love to everyone,
Penelope
