Hello!
How is everyone’s week?
We have a really lovely couple staying a few days – Ashley and Josh, who Fiona and I met on our Overland hike.
They are from the USA and travelling for an extended time in Australia. So glad they had a few extra days to make it to the Northwest to check out our area before heading back to the mainland.
The sun was out – we enjoyed some time down at Fossil Bluff (found some nice agate!) then went for a bit of a walk over to Anniversary Bay – slowly for me but happy to get out in the fresh air!
We were talking about the Australian animals and the one thing they (especially Josh) was keen to see but so far failed to, was a platypus.
Its not a common animal to see, so not surprised they hadn’t managed to spot one in their travels.
However…
The time and tide was right, so before going home I suggested we slip down to the local river and try our luck
Seriously less than 5 minutes down the river track and there it was!
I got bonus host points today!
We had a lovely 20 minutes watching him/her surface and dive right in front of us!
On the health front… another blood test today and a new lot of antibiotics.
Not feeling too bad today – I might attribute that to more of the sunshine than the drugs 🙂
Hope everyone else is doing great and thanks so much for all the lovely well-wishes. I really appreciate them and will get in to answer messages soon!
Cheers!
Love the platypus sighting
It is so exciting to see them! A real treat!
Wow! I’d love to see a platypus. Glad you’ve been out and about, take it easy. X
It was great to get out yesterday and get some sunshine! The platypus was such a bonus! We have seen them often in this stretch of river so we are quite lucky I think!
Here’s to feeling better! Hope you continue to get even better soon! Love the platypus!
Thanks Renee! Yes, it would be nice to shake this thing and get on with my ‘normal’ life! But what a lift to the spirits seeing a platypus!! 🙂
Hope your recovery is speedy!
Thanks Robyn! Totally working on it 🙂
