Had a week off from work when I returned from the Gold Coast...to 'resettle' and relax.
'Wonga Nuts'
A rainbow just before dark tonight...
Did manage in that time also to lay a 'new floor' in Millie the caravan and it came up a treat!..Not easy though working in a confined space of 18 foot by 7 foot on your hands and knees, moving things around to give you clear space to manouvre but so worth the effort!
Unfortunately, a couple staying in the camp, were robbed of a large amount of money from the ladies handbag one night whilst they were away from their caravan and money was also taken from the camp office.
The next night Lyn observed a person lurking around another residents caravan annex and raised the alarm but the offender got away.
Lyn was then named Miss Security and just for fun an 'artist' in the camp made up signs to display around the camp in honour of her new role!
At this time of year we also 'endure' the raining of the 'Wonga Nuts' as they are known...they are actually the nuts that fall from great heights from the Callophyllum trees above...onto the rooves of the caravans, vehicles, annexes etc...When they hit you sure know about it!
Residents and campers staying at Wonga Beach Caravan Park, protect their caravan rooves and cars to prevent dents.
People who come for short periods of time are issued with old dunars on entry and those that have been before come well equipped with covers etc.
You walk around the camp and all the cars have 'Coats' on!
Was keeping in daily communication with my Dad and his health status...
Went back to work....
My brother John came over for another week to be with my parents a week after I left.In the first days of his visit Dad ended up being taken to hospital with increasing shortness of breath.
X rays showed on admission showed absolutely no growth in the lung tumour (a testimony to the regime we had him on) but he had developed pneumonia, heart failure and resulting fluid on his lungs.
Due to the fact my brother had to go home again, I made the decision to fly back down so I could 'take over' driving my Mum to and from hospital and to be there to look after him when he comes home.
At this stage it will probably be well into next week before that can happen...His condition needs to be stablised before we can bring him home.
My Dad has never been in hospital before and he is Not enjoying the experience!
He sooo wants to come home.
So that's where I am at the moment!
A rainbow just before dark tonight...Certainly missing the beautiful warm temperatures of Far North Queensland!Its cold down here!
Hans sent through a pic of Bob's "Catch of the Day"...a 38kg Spanish Mackerel! Held up here in the photo by Bob (left) and Jimmy Bull...
So tonight in the camp I believe its Fish n Chips night...thats the great thing about the people in the camp...everyone shares and cares!
