Heat and cooling

Well it has been hot and Yes, I know it is summer. We had a pedestal fan that we were going to use in the caravan on our travels but then warren decided to buy a tower fan that would swing. Yep, it was okay and cooled things down but to sleep at night it needed to be raised while we were in bed.

Yesterday before we went to visit Rob, we wanted to call in to a Bunnings as we were going to buy them a Bunnings card as their Christmas present (and a pedestal fan). Last time we talked to Rob, they did not have any cooling so the tower fan would be going to good use. Lots of fans at different sizes and then we saw this.

An evaporative cooler  It was about twice the price of the fan and they didn't have what we wanted anyway but it is almost like having an A/C and it is very quiet.

It does take up more space but I am happy for it to travel in the back of the car if need be. 

I did my accounting tonight while Warren laughed at me and happy to record that I am under budget (cooler wasn't included but takeaway fish and chips was). Weeks expenditure was $682.48!!! Of course we didn't buy any food for the week as we brought it all from home, will need to do some shopping and washing tomorrow.

It was take away tonight as the chicken that I took out of the freezer for dinner was still frozen solid with no microwave to thaw it, there was a problem. Warren was given a choice, fish and chips or tinned food, he didnt answer just started looking up the nearest chippie haha.

At $18, it was not the cheapest but it was very tasty, large pieces of barramundi and crispy chips which we couldnt eat all of them. 

Fish and chips at the beach

We went for a drive on Tuesday to a local beach where we intend to take our overseas visitors who will be arriving tomorrow. The beach is about thirty minutes from home, not the most ideal place to swim but it is at the beach.

This photo was taken as we drove along the esplanade, several kangaroos resting in the shade.

I did use a zoom on this one but the roos are so used to cars driving past that they dont bother too move although they would go pretty quick if someone was to approach them.

There is the top of the mirror in the bottom of the photo with about a dozen roos in sight and the sea out to the right.

We had ur fish and chips and boy were they salty, we were tapping the chips onto the paper to bounce some of the excess salt off them Then we walked along the foreshore to the hall and back, it did look a bit like rain but thank fully it didnt rain before we got back to the car.
