Saturday 10th September - One more sleep & a missing sheep

Day 8

Awoke to another windy morning, but where was Albert ? .... it was so quiet and he was nowhere to be found. Tez had heard the girls giggling last night when she went to bed and thought that Albert had probably joined their pyjama party and could only imagine what photos would be available when we save them from Sue’s camera which was also missing....

All was revealed when Sue sheepishly appeared with her camera at the ready. After downloading the photos and having a good laugh, Tez headed off with the wind pushing her all the way to the shop to pay her account while Sue and Mags recuperated from their wild night with Albert at the disco.

It didn't take long after breakfast for Mags & Albert to curl up on the sofa with a good book to relax the morning away, nodding off dreaming of puzzle piecing.

The seas where choppy with Thevenard 1 being knocked around by the swell. Drew had told us yesterday that we wouldn’t be leaving the island tomorrow until the sea calms down probably after lunch.

When it did settle down, Sue got out the Ipod [known as the ipood] and headed off for a walk along the shore soaking in some rays, collecting some more shells for her project.

Mags & Bugsy had headed off to watch the footy, Mags came back feeling a bit off, I think it might have had something to do with the Eagles losing, so she went and had a lay down.

It was a lovely afternoon, so Sue and Albert took a stroll to the shop for butter and milk.
Albert enjoyed running around the island as he hadn't really been allowed out much since we arrived.

Pay your bill Albert.

 

Paying for past mistakes

Tez went in search of some last minute photo opportunities, but got the feeling she was being watched. Sue had become a resident stalker and we never knew when she'd pop up, or where, with the camera.

Stalker Sue at it again

Once the sun went down it was off to the jetty with Bugsy for some last minute fishing.

It was getting late and the staircase to the moon photos were not happening, so we headed home with no fish or squid again.

We had no chance of finishing the jigsaw we had started, so we packed it up before sitting down to our last dinner on Thevenard Island, a delicious dish of chilli bolognese and soy pasta.  

It was an early night for everyone as it was going to be a big day tomorrow, packing everything up ready to load it all back on the boat for the trip to the mainland.

After picking up the special bus we will have a reluctant stop in  Onslow, [Sue needs smokes] before heading to Exmouth.
