Everything is organised and in its place, apart from the washing machine. We were going to leave it here but Steve got superstitious at the last minute. He felt that if we left it here, our machine at home would break down as soon as we got back! He has a point. After the last couple of trips away, that machine was most unwilling to start. Apparently it didn't appreciate its holiday.
We have a lovely NE wind, which will gently nudge us homeward and save on diesel. Sunday's wind wasn't too bad but this is better.
Our last swim yesterday was delightful. Most people had gone home to eat and we had one pool to ourselves. As always, we started off in the cool pool. The sun was still on it and it was delicious! It was perfect body temperature and felt neither hot nor cold. When it's like that, I say that it feels like silk on the skin.
Emily and Carissa arrived up here to say goodbye, before I was out of bed. Both complained about the length of their school uniforms. Although they attend the same school, Emily is in the High School section and has a different uniform. Carissa's green checked dress was too short for her liking. She is not far short of 6' tall and had the biggest size available, which didn't quite cover her knees. She is looking forward to High School next year, when she can wear the skirt that annoys Emily. The skirt is mid calf length and looks very elegant. Em said it was too long and showed how she and her friends hitch it up to shorten it. Of course!!!
We watched the Philip Island Moto GP yesterday and cheered Casey Stoner along. I was sure that Valentino Rossi could have pushed harder if he wanted. With Lorenzo falling off in the very early stages, the final result was just perfect! Casey wins his 3rd Philip Island in a row and Valentino gets the points for the championship.
And so, off we go. The only good thing about leaving Moree is that we know we are getting closer and closer to family.
