After lunch today we were wondering how to spend the afternoon, as the rain looked like staying all day, and our proposed trip to a nearby waterfall would have been a muddy cold experience.
We got lucky! Our neighbors called, and they are Rocket and Strop! We had a great afternoon as always with fellow Grey Nomads. Thanks for the afternoon tea Rocket!
We arent always so lucky on rainy days, usually its video's, reading or going out anyway just for a break.
A great day to spend a wet afternoon for sure. I have a pile of puzzles (codebreaker, sudoku, crosswords, etc) Or books, crotchet, playing on laptop, etc, etc.
It doesn't matter to me whether in a van or a house, a wet day is a great day on the bed reading a good book, don't feel guilty about doing nothing.........
I probably just what I would if living in a house, read a good book, do a crossword, maybe clean a little (hey not too much of that as I'm allergic to house work)
Make a list of the "must see" places we just have to visit. The usual games and have discovered a game called the Logo game. Really get into the current book.
I do code-cracker puzzles, play solitaire on this thing (laptop), check out some writing I might have done or want to do, check out the Truckies Atlas for ideas of destinations and the road to take, or I study up on the Pilot Codes of Conduct for each state. I'm never bored. I can get a bit cranky when I'm shut in for more than a day or 2, but I'm always occupied somehow. If I have company I have a couple of packs of cards and a couple of board games. Or I go to the shopping centre and window shop, although I don't have much call for windows these days.

Of course i am a mate !! that why I said i was worried that people might get the wrong impression ??
I;m not like those other guys on here that are always picking on you.
In fact since i read the thread about you having your own town, and especially your own Pub, I have decided to make you my best mate !
So when you have those other guys on here picking on you, you just give me a call, and we will meet at your pub, and drink your beer, while we work out a strategy

Gerty. wet rainy day is the best time to see a waterfall. I at the moment live in a tent i have a big tarp under which i sit, have a fire, and invite those poor dome people over for a drink. I prefer wet weather, no flies, no mossies, easier bushwalking esp as animals don't hear you coming as ground doesn't crunch. I have a goretex hip length jacket, rain is no problem. It is great sitting under tarp with fire and drink and watching and listening to the rain, its usually too loud to put a movie on the lappy unless headphones, i have just learnt to appreciate it
We had a great afternoon as always with fellow Grey Nomads. Thanks for the afternoon tea Rocket!
