A few days away

John had a conference in Wallaroo on Thursday so we were up at 4 am to be there by 9 am, a long drive, and then a longish conference but we had booked an apartment for the night that was right on the marina and had a lovely view. I sat through some of the conference and then had a wander along the foreshore, Wallaroo had been a copper mining town in the 1800's so this was one of the chimneys, now there are prawn boats and a big marina and lots of smart holiday houses. I had a lovely walk, back to the apartment and sewed, in to the pub for a quick meal and fell into bed early. We woke next morning to pouring rain and gale force winds, so no wandering around and sightseeing, a long and at times terrifying trip home, with huge trucks throwing up so much water you had problems seeing. We came home to no rain or wind! Just very tired. I cant imagine how tired I feel now, I think it was being tense for so long on the drive home.
