We had a mixture of weather in Streaky. It was unusually cold at times with a cold wind and for several days we had showers of rain followed by a couple of quite hot days.
It didn't stop us doing much ... if it was cool we went for drives and admired the beautiful scenery. If the weather was nice, we spent some time on the jetty fishing and catching crabs.
Rick only managed to catch two squid the whole time we were there, but did get quite a few crabs. I was surprised one day when I cast my rod in ... there was a seal swimming around under the jetty. It seems he was diving and stealing the bait from Rick's crab nets - cheeky bugga! When we thought he had moved away, Rick dropped his nets again only to find that the seal would mysteriously appear again looking very pleased with himself.
I managed on one occasion to land 5 nice flathead from the jetty that we kept and filleted for dinner ... very nice indeed. I went back to the same spot 3 or 4 times but couldn't catch any more.
On Jen's days off, I would spend some time with her while Rick went down to the jetty. Jen's little pussycat (Prince) is just adorable and we laughed at his playful antics. Rick helped Jen close in her shadehouse temporarily so that Prince can have some fun outside. He would nearly break his neck to get out past Jen whenever she went outside.
Jen joined us most evenings for dinner followed sometimes by a game of Rummykub. Neither Jen nor I could ever beat Rick.
We had a terrific time in Streaky and it was so good to catch up with Jen again.
