Whitebait and a new Fridge

We have some lovely days, even though the wind is rather cool. We have had some showers today and the wind is quite strong.

Yesterday we went for a walk on the beach and we were glad we had warm jackets and hats on as it was very blowy.  

On Saturday, it poured with rain most of the  day. When the rain was really heavy Eddie popped out and washed the car and some of the caravan windows. Yes he is a little barmy. He reckons it’s the best time when everything is wet.

The whitebait season began at the beginning of September, and there are a few more campers in to go fishing. There are cars parked alongside the river bank all day at the moment. The ones I have spoken to don’t seem to be doing too well yet. The season has been shortened in an attempt to protect the stock levels, as there are less whitebait now than there were a few years ago. I don’t really like them. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about ha ha. 

The fridge that Eddie used to keep his beer in finally gave up the ghost a little while ago. The temperature display gradually went up, so it ended up  saying that the temperature was 51 degrees centigrade. Inside the beer was frozen, so that’s not good. We were able to get a new second hand one and went up to Katikati to get it a couple of weekends ago.
