We're away for a few days

Rockingham, Australia

July 7, 2021 9:11pm CST

We are leaving shortly and will be away three nights taking photos at a Riding for the Disabled weekend in Collie. As the caravan is at a friend’s place, we have to make sure we take everything we need when we leave the house. No dodging in and out from house to caravan to remember last minute things. Being a list person, I tick things off as they get packed so hopefully we won’t forget too much. I should be able to myLot from our camping spot. Now, we’re just hoping for fine weather as the showers are expected to continue. We’ve had a lot of rain over the last week. The photo is of one of the murals in Collie.

It's a mining town so the mural is very apt.

So far it's been just about nothing but rain. Luckily the group have a huge indoor arena but that does make the photography challenging.

The fun bit might be trying to extricate ourselves from where we've parked the caravan. It is exceedingly wet and supposed to get worse!

@DocAndersen We're home again now and today the morning was actually really nice but there is another huge low coming in late Sunday so we thought it best to head home.

Checklist is the thing to see that everything is packed. I have gone on several travels and that has been my survival.

I am also a list person and I do the same, I tick things off as they are packed... but it happened in the past that I missed something. I had to offer a tie to my husband the day I forgot to pack one when we lived for a meeting.

I wish you good luck for the weather.
