Bit of a worry when friends of ours call to visit mate. I know Robyn had a good drive around with Willem the first day and Charlie was with me. No doubt you caught up on all that.
Hi Ruthie, didn't know if you were going to stay on the planet with the look of possible tidal change. ;-(

Oh hello John Boy - the thing that concerns me about the tidal change is, as you would know, the tides come about dependent on the moon - the moon will be full and all the werewolves will be howling and doing strange things, and I now know from my research into Harry Potter that werewolves are sometimes 'animagus' and during the day whilst 'normal' are very sorry about their nocturnal activities.

Yes, and we had the pleasure of 24 hours of Navigator 1's company too. They got in here around 4pm last Saturday and we set them up in the backyard for the overnight stay.
On Sunday we had a bit of a
Cook's tour; showing them around the Copper Triangle (Kadina/Moonta/
Wallaroo) as
well as a little jaunt out to
Tickera. Then, after lunch, they headed back out to
Wallaroo, where they caught the ferry across to
Lucky Bay. Hopefully they found their way south to the bottom of the Eyre Peninsula and were considering going up
Goog's Track and back east......maybe to
Andamooka and across the top of
Lake Torrens etc.
Cheers to y'all
Roachie

Talked to them both today and funny thing was they said what nice people they met on the
York Peninsular. They are currently down at
Port Lincoln at the National
Park, barely a metre above the
water line. Think Charlie is looking to get some oysters into him and also Robyn ;-) They enjoyed their time with you guys and are really enjoying their EO
membership benefits.

Yep both
well thank you. Ian's busy with the house - got the frame up, roof ready for sheeting, put the floor joists and bearers on today and they started putting up the verandah posts this afternoon. Good to hear Warren Jnr enjoying his work.

Willem, the owner builder means that I manage the job - can't be a good manager if you can't
delegate who does what. Haven't noticede anyone offering to do the 'inside' jobs or the mowing and go getter things! I hope it's finished BEFORE you get here next!
