Drying Out

We have settled in at interludes in the Hakea cottage. It is very well appointed and has given us a chance to recover from our recent soaking.

The cottage has a large undercover deck and we took full advantage today as soon as the rain stopped. As can be seen from the photos, there was much to be dried.

This morning I opened the curtains to see a poor drenched kangaroo taking shelter under the trees outside our cottage. It must be tough to be a wild animal.

As soon as we could see some blue sky to the south, I opened the Tvan to try and dry it off as well, and during our haste to pack up, everyting in the front toolbox was wet as well. The pig has taken on a nice shade of rust, like the patina of fine silver.
By 4 o'clock we had everything dry and packed away, ready for our next encounter with the elements in a few days.
The forecast looks OK but we'll wait and see.
Meanwhile, the sun is shining and we have some glimpses of the ocean off Bawley Point from our cottage.

 And the kangaroo returned this afternoon for a well earned soak in the sun.
