SATURDAY 8 MAY     THOMAS RIVER

Today the sky was rather more cloudy and it was fairly cool.

John went off to fish from down on the beach here. He had a successful time, catching about 11 smallish fish – Tommy Ruffs, a flathead and a trevalley.

I made pea and ham soup – it was that sort of day!

Despite its laid-back nature – or maybe because of it – today was an enjoyable one.

In the early evening, there was rain over distant Cape Arid, and a good display of both sheet and fork lightning. The moonrise behind the clouds was very eerie.
