We had a surprisingly good sleep last night (usually the first night away is a bit rough) despite Hazel forgetting which side of the bed was hers - or was it me forgetting the whole bed IS hers? Either way, she owned the bed last night but we both slept great 🤪😂
I had a slight wave of anxiety rise this morning as my batteries cracked the shits when trying to make a coffee (not a great start but we managed to get a brew made) & thanks to having some phone signal I was able to riff out some feels in Callie Browns group coaching program The Corner where I reflected on how different this trip feels as opposed to last years that was fueled by pure adrenaline & ignorance 😬😆
It was at that moment I decided I needed to slow my mind & the trip so I haven’t travelled as far today as I first thought I might. Instead I took some time to move my body & do some stretching before hitting the road.
The weather is beautifully ‘springy’ & although there aren’t heaps of wildflowers out yet we were gifted to a pretty little splattering of floral goodness around Norseman.
I had a moment of panic when I thought the BP was letting me down in the Maxibon department but they came through for me with an original (I’m normally a honeycomb girl) Phew!!! Gotta keep that tally rising.
My mood was brought well back on track with another session of Coaster Karaoke with the past 2 days driving belting out tunes from ‘Kylea’s Blues Roots Folk Soul Mashup’ playlist.
A bit of one armed disco action had oncoming vehicles thinking I was waving which turned out to be a good thing because it turns out I’m a really shit ‘waver’. The positioning of my hands low on the steering wheel is not conducive to constant friendliness. I do manage to make an effort now & again though.
The free campsite we’re stopping at for the next 2 nights is awesome. Perfectly flat gravelly ground and no one else here (that might change) except a shittonne of flys 🪰 🤪
I’m also feeling a bit bloody happy with myself as my new telescopic ladder purchase works a treat & I’ve managed to get my starlink up off the ground & onto the roof. YAY!!!
The sun is setting & I might have a sneaky outdoor shower with my not yet used usb charged submersible pump shower before it gets too dark & then brisket, gravy & veges for dinner.
Tomorrow is a full day of work & I can’t wait to inject some Nullabor magic into it.
