Dickie Beach

The Thomson family are going camping.  Well Thomson's plus one.  (Tonya).  With the Vito in the shop, we have 5 in the Tiida.  I am glad I bought a car with rear seat leg room.  But look at the luggage.  Tents, chairs, sleeping bags.  Not even any gas stoves or cooking gear.

Tonya had indicated she would like to catch up with another German girl and speak Germaneze. The other girl ended up being invtited to join us camping.  So now we are Thomson's plus 2 making 8 in total. We arrived at Dickie beach with 5 squeezed into the Tiida and three across the front of the ute.

This is our little tent setup.  We added Ian & Fay's push up gazebo to our load on the way up.  It's a bit coool and windy here and we considered tieing the tarp up as a wall but the gazibo does not have any cross bracing and I reckon it would blow down pretty quiick.

Tonight we bought Fish & Chips at a cafe across the road from caravan park.

See no teens? - They have gone for a walk on the beach.

We are playing Monopoly.  I am just waiting for the Tantrum.  Jemma asked "When does it finish?".

As all adults know, Monopoly finishes when someone has a tantrum.

We also know that monopoly is cronically under financed and this one fits in nicely with the eu debt crisis as it turns out it is the "Here and Now International" version.  No longer is whitechapel $60.  Now we have Tapei at $600000.  In fact all the extra zeros make it so much harder or maybe we all just knew the rents in the old currency.

Megan has just made us hot chocolate.  How you may ask.  Well we did bring a kettle and we have a tent site with power - that ain't campin.  But gee that hot chocolate hit the mark.  Oh Chris & trying to negotiate the sale of a property with Jemma and as we all knowm no one ever trades in monopoly and so it stagnates.  oh hangon, do I hear a tantrum coming on.
