Day 42. Boat Harbour day 5 – our last day here.






This is the start of the new week. Brendan has work to do in Melbourne from Tuesday. We are leaving Boat Harbour tomorrow for Hobart. In a planned manoeuvre we are driving to Devonport to get Brendan to his plane. We then are having lunch in the Tamar Valley at the restaurant at the 9th Island Winery before travelling to Launceston. We are spending the night at Launceston with Nancye Callinan's youngest daughter, Angela and her family. But more about that tomorrow.

Today we did some geeky stuff and some gardening. In the morning we drove to Burnie. There, Adrienne and Joanne went to a gallery displaying and promoting the manufacture of paper. Brendan and I went to Harvey Norman to buy a TomTom GPS. After shopping we collected the girls and returned home. The rest of the morning was spent by us setting up the GPS. We also set up a printer that Brendan had previously bought.

After lunch Joanne and Adrienne planted some bay trees that Joanne had bought as the start of her herb garden. Brendan and I installed Skype on his laptop to allow Joanne and him closer access to their boys and their grandson, Jack, Dan and Chris' boy.

After a quiet afternoon, Brendan cooked a wonderful risotto for dinner and we spent the evening in discussion.

As I write this the rain has started to fall and is presently thundering down. It appears we have been lucky with the weather.
