Our AC has continued to perform as expected, without water pouring on us from the roof. We will still research the best replacement option as this unit is seven years old.
I waited until this morning to put out the awning and fit the water hose, drain, and shade screen. I thought it would be cooler, but it was 30° at 9 am, so I didn’t bother hammering in tent pegs.
We had coffee in town before going to the Fiddlers Awards at the Capitol Theatre. This was the first time we had seen this annual show, and will be booking our tickets for next year. At times it was a bit disorganised, but all of the musicians were very talented.
A woman from WA was presented with an award for her efforts encouraging 200 young fiddlers, and the second award went to a woman who includes kids in her shows. Today, she had the kids dressed as butterfly’s while she played the fiddle on stilts.
Martha Spencer from the USA played the fiddle and banjo, and demonstrated flat foot dancing.
Ninety-one year old Ted Egan played a beer carton while singing a ballad about a female boss drover, accompanied by a fiddler. This was very clever and one of his many songs or ballads about women.
Apart from doing a load of washing and making lunch, we stayed cool with the critters and watched the cricket until it was time to leave to see Beccy’s show. What a show it was!! She was incredible tonight.
The night sky was most unusual. The first photo was taken from the carpark of Wests, and the second from our caravan park.
