Strangely, partner misted last week just as it started to rain and grumbled at his bad luck. However, since the rain has given way to sunny weather they've not returned.

Finally getting bedding laundered and hung in the fresh air instead of the shed.

Again we were unable to get to Cairns this week .Last week it was the ferry clogged with logs which would have put us too late for appointments so turned round for home. This week, a large tree subsided onto to the access road and no way through until the Council shifted it.
