TUESDAY 8 DECEMBER     LAKE MARABOON

It was quite hot today – but it is a fairly dry heat.

I spent most of the day doing Xmas cards and letters. Also worked on the knitted vest present.

John went off in the Truck, in the afternoon, to try to catch some red claw yabbies in the lake. He managed to back into a tree, down there, and came back quite upset about it. There is a noticeable dent in the upper back on the driver’s side. He said he’d gotten out of Truck and checked to see if it was clear to back. Guess he didn’t look up!

He didn’t catch any yabbies, either.

In the late afternoon, we walked up to the lookout area, for some exercise.

Tea was steak and kidney, with dumplings.
