All four of us went to 9am Service at the Baptist Church. They had a good group of 7 people to lead the music and the pastor preached for 40 minutes on Caleb and Joshua. We met a visitor from Germany called Toby. His home is between Munich and Ulm. The congregation was about the same size as our Marsden Road church and about 30 of them turned up at the Irish Club for communal lunch. We came back to the house and worked all afternoon sanding, painting, installing cladding and gardening. Bronwyn and Jessica called in again with some dateballs for afternoon tea.
The weather has been perfect for outside work. Mornings are a little under 10 degrees and afternoons around 22. At 6pm we remembered the full moon and a google search showed it would rise at 4:50 in Sydney. Pity the sky was overcast there. We hopped in the car and drove to the Lookout just in time to see it appearing on the horizon in a cloudless sky. We have had no rain on our trip for the last two weeks.
The self-focussing camera is always confused trying to focus on the moon, but the colours in the sky were magnificent. We say the blue is caused by the shadow of the earth. A sight never to be forgotten. As predicted, the moon appeared huge, but a five cent coin at arm's length was actually bigger.
Mount Isa was looking at its best as the town and mine lights came on.
Back home again and Peta served us a royal feast. Malcolm had a foreign body in his eye which refused to come out, so Aidan took him to Emergency at Mt Isa Hospital where a specialist removed three tiny objects and supplied antibiotics.
