10th August. North of Broome


Brian was walking on the beach this morning and contemplating life......
Over lunch we shared these statistics-:
Brian,
Lived in England 2 & 1/2 years
Canada 26 & 1/2 years
Germany 7 & 1/2 years
Egypt 1/2 year
Australia 37 years

Rosemary,
New Zealand 32 years
England 1 & 1/2 years
Norway 4 months
Germany 3 years
Canada 4 & 1/2 years
Australia 37 years

Midday meal has become the thing while we are stationery, today's pork chops on the weber, with sparkling potatoes, salad & coleslaw......have I said before that life is good?

To day Brian became "A knight in shining armour", a young couple drove in and then drove down onto the beach.....the first we knew was this young man at at van asking for 'HELP' 
We had borrowed Jamie's 'Snatch Rope' so it was put to use because they were bogged. Fred had 4WD Shackles, so between them they dug then towed them out. THEY HAD TO CATCH A FLIGHT TO PERTH AT 6pm!!!
Tomorrow we will buy Shackes for ourselves, This was the first time Fred's had been used!
I was on the phone to Beryl so missed it all but Minika kindly took photos so I can share the drama.

This is Brian in the green singlet & our car having to tow backwards.
Quite exciting.
Tomorrow is our weekly trip to Broome, getting to know our way around it by now.
We had Census papers hand delivered yesterday so we won't have to pay any fines! Also we had phoned the 1300 number and reported we were 5,000k away from Unit 44.......they had no record of it!!! However it is recorded that we have connected them. Now we have dealt with the 2016 Census twice!
