Waiting, waiting.........

Tuesday, was so hot and it obviously reached the 26 degree mark and I was sweating even in the house. With there only being one fan in the place, I struggled to find a cool spot. I couldn't even find any of that "breeze" that Flinders is renowned for. Jetpets phoned me an hour before Rosie was due to fly in to tell me that they had mucked up the booking and had consequently missed her flight. Poor Rosie.

When Bruno came home at about 5pm, we had an early tea and then drove down to The Bluff and hung out with some of his work mates. They had a BBQ going and were just cooling off  in the water with a boat and "biscuit", while the kids swam in the shallower water. We stayed for a couple of hours until the sun disappeared.(8.30pm) Must say I  love daylight savings.

Wednesday - TODAY Rosie is arriving. I spent the morning organising tea, walking into "town" to get some ingredients and basically waiting. The weather was not so hot today as there was a breeze to cool things down. 2.30pm I picked Bruno up from work and we headed to the airport.As we turned the corner we could see Rosie in her crate and her ears pricked up, and would you believe after 14 months she had recognised Bruno's car and started crying. She was so excited to see us and was certainly letting us know that we were not to do that again. Rosie spent the afternoon settling in and taking it easy.

About 6.30pm we headed for a walk down the beach. It was really uncanny as Rosie seemed to know where we were going, out of the gate she turned towards the beach as if by instinct. Down on the beach it was quite blowy as the wind had picked up during the day. The water temperature however, was warm (swimming temperature)  and Rosie didn't hesitate to have a swim.

Cuttlefish - are huge here.

As we walked along the beach Rosie became intrigued by the stumps of an old jetty. As the waves were rolling in and around the stumps, she couldn't ascertain what it was. She ventured in to investigate, braving the waves. After much deliberation I think she decided that nothing was going to "get us."

Walking along this particular beach it is not just sand but a lot of little pebbles and broken shells. The perfect natural exfoliant for your feet. It even took my nail polish off (partially).

Nature's exfoliant.
