I left home this morning about 6.45 when the morning was just starting to wake. The weather has been well, wet and cool, and nothing like it should be, but the one good thing is that the countryside is so, so, green. Driving along Cawongla Road as it snaked its way down the valley, following Leycester Creek, was a joy. Made even better when I saw one of the local pair of wedge tailed eagles, soaring around, low to the ground, looking for prey.
The poincianas are now bursting into their vibrant reddy-orange flowers which add so much colour to the streets in Lismore.
We had a lovely night last night...I cooked a lamb roast with veges, but before dinner, Steve, Cal and I soaked in the hot tub in a light rain with a bottle of bubbly. Cal had made a delicious pear and almond cake (from a recipe book by noted chef, belinda Jeffery, who lives at mullum - more about her and her cook book in another posting), which was delicious.
We take Cal up to Brisbane airport tomorrow (Saturday) for his departure to New Caledonia where he will stay for a month or so with friends. Then he'll fly back to Brisbane and come and visit us again - as a mate, not a HelpXer, before setting off back south towards Sydney.
