Today is Saturday, see I am keeping up with the real world!
This morning I walked along the beach. Scattered along the beach and occupying about 50% of the shoreline are rocky outcrops. They would be quite nasty if one discovered them by mischance with a boat. In their own way are quite beautiful is not quite the word, characterful (now there is a word for you!) perhaps eye catching is a good description. They are, of course, sharp, random and unusually for reefs mainly black in colour, although there are some variations to that. The other noteworthy thing about this beach is the multitude of sea polished rocks on the shore, my Darwin grandchildren would describe the quantity as 'infinity'. These rocks are all sizes (not huge pickupable sizes), all shapes and an absolute multiplicity of colours. Not just plain colours stripes, circular patterns, random patterns, etc. I have rescued quite a lot of them and if our van was bigger I would have rescued lots more, everywhere you look there are lovely rocks. 
Then we spent the rest of the day working hard at doing very little, mind you we didi do a few jobs and Elaine did a bit of cooking using the BBQ as an oven to make a nice meat loaf. While we are on the subject of food Elaine has been able to serve great meals all the way along this trip. That is quote something as she only has 2 saucepans and a frypan but we have really eaten extremely well. It is always good to be amongst a group of caravaners as you get to meet people as everyone is friendly. 
Late this afternoon we had the first of our nightly drinks, went for another beach walk then had the second and last of our nightly drinks and watched a very nice sunset.
