We had the beach to ourselves this morning, apart from our two regular swans. The rain has had a strange impact on the sand around the storm water pipes. There is erosion behind the outlet.


When we made up the bed for our house/pet sitter, the critters must have thought we were all going on a trip in the caravan. They hung around, keeping a close eye on us. Their only experience of us packing and taking bags out to the car has been when we load bedding, clothes and food into the caravan.
I went out for a quick trip to the shops. When I got home half an hour later, Bluey was waiting at the door bouncing around, so glad I had come back! We had a few friends for lunch, and the critters sat on separate corners of the dining room rug, keeping an eye on us. They knew something was different.
Our friend will be house sitting and looking after our precious pets for a few days. I walked to the beach with her and Bluey just as the storm was threatening. One of our neighbours posted this stunning photo on FB.

We are staying at the casino tonight and will fly down to Sydney tomorrow morning.
