7 January - Lazy Day

Lazy Day

We slept in, then did nothing, all day!  It was a stinking hot day, low forties with a hot dry wind.  We did some reading, some audio books and some lying around. Hayden and I had a game of chess, as usual Hayden won.  I slept for two hours in the middle of the day, and spent the afternoon sitting in the air conditioned common room listening to my audio book and finishing off the cross stitch I started on Christmas Eve.  After dinner, we had a swim before I went to bed and the boys headed to the common room to watch 20/20 cricket.

Rest Day

Today was a rest and recovery day – the weather was miserable and the car needed servicing so we spent the day at the caravan park.  We started the day with a treat breakfast of croissants, sausages and eggs as an early anniversary treat for Drew and I.  Drew took the car in for its 200 000km service, which took the entire day and cost an amount that matched.  Hayden and I had a very, very long game of Monopoly – which he has been asking for for ages – he ended up conceding, but it took a while!  Most of the afternoon was spent reading books in our sleeping bags – it is like a cold, wet winter’s day here, in the middle of December!
