Well hello new friends (67 subscribers! WTF?). I honestly didn’t think anyone would care enough to find this corner of the internet or be interested in what I had to say, but I guess I was wrong?
It’s been a challenging few days with constant rain and strong winds but we’re trying to stay upbeat. We’re making the best of the situation with lots of time by the fire catching up on our reading and although we haven’t brought out the scrabble board just yet, it’s probably not too far away. Can’t believe Louis still thinks he’s going to beat me. Poor, delusional, Lou 😉
Our progress on The List has been fairly slow due to Mother Nature whacking at us at every opportunity but we’re doing what we can. Getting the weather station readings have been mini-adventures in themselves. We come back completely drenched even though we wear our weatherproof jackets because the pesky wind manages to let the rain sneak underneath no matter how hard we try to avoid it. As a result, the living room currently resembles a makeshift laundry with lines strung across the room in a criss-cross pattern to dry all our damp clothing. I’ve nearly been garrotted a couple of times but it serves me right for not paying more attention. I ended up on my arse after one almost beheading which Louis found highly amusing. He was laughing so much he fell off the couch and smacked his funny bone on the coffee table. Karma really is a bitch 🙂
I’ve received some lovely messages about my cooking and asking what other treats I’ve got in store for us. Well… I baked today! I haven’t baked for years, what with all the time I’ve spent in hotels, so having an actual kitchen at my disposal was amazing. For those interested, I made a batch of parmesan and herb muffins and some good old Australian damper. Felt like a proper Aussie. There’s not much in the way of sweet things I can make with our current stores but I’d added a few ingredients to the supply order so I’ll be whipping up some more interesting things in the coming weeks. Hopefully that will satisfy Louis’ sweet tooth!
Anyway, it’s time to brave the elements and do the daily weather station readings again so hopefully we don’t get blown off the cliff!
Lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
