We didn’t rush out of bed, after the late night storms. We had enjoyed watching the lightning from the bedroom window in Bridget. There was a fair bit of rain too, and there were puddles and soft mud and ground this morning. They got 6-8mm of rain, which has reduced the dust a bit. We headed over to the farmstay and got to say goodbye to the lovely family, before Matt got stuck into extending the wifi system he had installed last year for them. I pottered about and helped Fiona. We headed into Quilpie to get fresh groceries and meat, as a plane load of guests were arriving late that afternoon.

I continued to help Fiona after my nap in the afternoon, I haven’t been 100% and needed a rest to get me through the afternoon. I helped Fiona for the rest of the day, with cleaning, washing up and food prep and getting the dinner ready for the 12 guests. Meanwhile Matt continued to battle the wifi system, until it was all up and running well in the new zones he had added for it. We saw the air strip finally being used for a plane, instead of our kids driving dirt bikes and vehicles up and down it (the fun they had on our volunteer trips on the air strip made for great memories). The shiny plane taxied right up to the farmstay. I was expecting it to stop at the airstrip and we collect them in the bus, but the pilot turned off the strip and drove down the driveway , and parked it in the carpark. No problems. It was another wonderful sunset on the horizon that seems to go on forever, as it is so flat. Matt and I disappeared back to Bridget and I cooked Matt’s dinner and then we opted to relax for the night. We have been playing scrabble most of these evenings, after we have prepared this blog. Matt’s getting quite good at it now and occasionally beats me! Only when she wins. Just kidding. I am getting good at using 4 letter words now. Not just 3.
