It has been sunny for most of the day but the wind has been unrelenting. The maximum wind gust in Esperance on 1 August was 72kph and 83kph yesterday. There is still a chance of an overnight thunderstorm.
We went to Cloud Eleven Coffee to buy an AeroPress coffee press that can make espresso style coffee. Anita tested it and was happy with her first cup. It is small and lightweight so suitable for the caravan. Many places where we camp do not have nearby decent coffee.
I revisited the scenery along Twilight Beach Rd with our friends, and Bluey and Leo. It was so windy in some places it was hard to open the car doors or stand still, so we mostly enjoyed the views from the comfort of the Toyota. We could not walk the dogs as they may have blown away.
We drove further than I had yesterday, turning around at Eleven Mile Beach, the end of the coastal road in this area. On the way we stopped at Observatory Point where I climbed the steps to the top, holding onto the rails with both hands all the way up and down.
Back in our van Bluey got into trouble for stealing the butter off my roll. A couple of days ago he stole a piece of cheese from Anita’s cracker. His nose goes close to the table each time he gets up on the bed via the step and bench, but knows he should only look not taste. He hid on our pillows.
