Rest, rest and yes, more rest

We're still here at beautiful Bonny Hills. Last week it rained a little but most days have been lovely with a gentle coastal breeze except for yesterday, which had quite a strong NE wind blowing. The annex did a bit of flapping but is still standing.

Stephen and Angel are both great. Stephen is looking so relaxed (beard and all) despite completing all the bookkeeping for the last 3 months and working on some websites. Angel is having a great time too, though I think we should rename her "Itchy" or "Scratchy". Something seems to be irritating her and we can't see what or anything on her skin. It could be that she keeps lying underneath the caravan in the long grass with whatever bugs live there. Tonight we're trying her with a different treatment to see if this will give her some relief. So far, not a scratch in sight.

Meanwhile, I've been adjusting to the fact that my foot (heel) needs plenty of rest and time in order to heal. So I'm staying off it and have put just about everything on hold for a while including the sewing I was going to do. I didn't realise how much I was on my feet while sewing the other week. As chance would have it, the sewing course at Spotlight I was going to start last week was cancelled due to lack of numbers. I'm enjoying the rest though and Stephen bought a banana lounge for me to laze about on with my foot up, so I lie there looking out at the ocean (as long as no one has their caravan in the way) and only be a few feet away from the caravan. It's great!

Today is battery recharge day. Every week we need to recharge a 12V battery that runs all the lights in the caravan. Gradually the lights get dimmer and dimmer until eventually it's like dining by candle light. Not that I mind that. When we finally remember to set up the recharger it needs to run from morning until night and even though the completed light doesn't come on, the lights are nice and bright again. Some of the caravans we saw had 2 switches for every light so they can be run from 240V or 12V. I don't know what it is but there's something quite nice about this little weekly ritual.

Anyway, that's all from us.
