It was partly cloudy at Norseman when we left the RV park. Our first stop was to be the dump site but some selfish, ignorant, idiotic person had blocked the entrance with their car and caravan (grrr!). We gave up and I went to the only cafe for my coffee.
It was a 2 hour drive to Esperance where our first stop was the Caravan Repair Centre. Fitting a new Anderson plug took less than 10 minutes, but we were charged labour at the minimum of half hour – $55 for 10 minutes. Effectively we paid the equivalent hourly rate of $330!
The clouds gathered and light rain started while we set up in the caravan park. The forecast is for lots of wet weather while we are here so I put up the awning with a combination of shade screens and waterproof screens. To reduce the amount of sand being carried into the van, I put out double layers of groundsheet.
Anita did two loads of washing all of which is hanging under the awning – it could be there for days!
We drove the short distance to the shops, just in time for a heavy downpour. I sat it out in the car with Bluey and caught up with a some phone calls.
We are watching the Commonwealth Games trying to convince Blue it is not time for his late night treat. He is confused by the time change, perceiving it to be 10.30pm when it is only 8.30pm.
