Thurs 28 Nov 2013 - Visiting Mr Duffy

Nobody disturbed us and we got up at 6.00am and went down to tour the beaches. We came back to the first one and by 7.00 am the surf was right and some other people arrived too. It was a beautiful morning and I went in for a swim while Rodger was in the surf. Mollymook are hospitable because they don't lock their toilets at night and there was a nice beach shower too!  (Mel finally gets some shots of me surfing!)

Rodger met some guys from the Baptist Church near the shower and after a short conversation, they invited him to visit their Men's Shed. I dropped him off there while I went to do some shopping 

When I picked up Rodger we drove into Milton to visit Mr Duffy - a very special friend, wise mentor to us at The Lighthouse.  We're so grateful that we have this opportunity to visit Mr Duffy as he was very ill in Sept and it didn't seem as if we'd see him again. We arrived mid-morning and had such a lovely time remembering special times together, that it was suddenly his lunchtime and we had to go.

 We had arranged to meet Mr Duffy's daughter, Vivien, in the park for a picnic lunch and it was great to catch up with her too.

From here, we went on to one of Rodger's favourite surfing spots, Mañana / Benelong Pt and he found some surf and people to go out with. There's a caravan park at Bennelong, so we stayed there. There were lots of kangaroos wandering about and grazing. It had been a hot day, 35C, and so we were able to cook and eat outside, until the mozzies came out!
