The girls are playing in the lake, Maria is lying in the shade, I'm in the yurt finishing off some work with the fan blowing on me. Its hot.
Today is our last day before we pack up and head south. Maria and I have been processing, talking and getting mentally ready to be back in Brunswick. We left the girls here at Lemon Tree Passage this morning and went back to find a wave, almost as a ceremonial punctuation. One Mile beach was pretty flat but I was pleased to see some swell back at Stockton where the beach had been closed two days ago. (see struck by the bigness)
Maria went for a walk.
I caught some waves.
All was good in our world.
I will miss the simplicity of this. Everything is basic and uncomplicated; clothes, food, accommodation, equipment ...
We are looking forward to the things we enjoy about being in Melbourne. Obviously being reconnected with Zac and Heidi. Our bigger living space. Watching the Aust. Tennis Open on our TV.
There is plenty to do on the work front, who knows what this year will hold. I will be spending some of the time driving back thinking about our expectations and goals for the year. Now I'm off to spend the last hours in the water with the kids and Maria, and sitting in the shade as the day fades.
