SHE SAID:
Day 2 of the field trip & Marg & I headed off before 7am as we wanted 1 stop before we got to the meeting point. We saw about 6 different orchids at the Perup Rd stop.
The rest of the trip was around the Seaton Ross / Mersea Reserve, which I knew, though there were a couple of new locations for me. The trip wound up around 1pm as most people were heading back to Perth. I had 1 more stop back on the Muir Highway, finding loads of Swamp Leeks (green form), some more Ray Spiders, Mignonettes, Pink Enamels, & Tall Donkey/Bees.
I think I surprised Geoff by getting in around 3.15pm.

Varena was up at 6am for her day out with the WANOSCG group so I was sort of awake too, though I didn't actually get up. My plan for the day only had a few little tasks so I managed to call Carmel to check on her post-op recovery (all good), also do some book reading, web searches for potential new phones (to replace my 4 year old Pixel 4a which has had 2 hiccups lately, and has no more security updates) and lithium van batteries, for whenever we may need them. The earlier than expected return of Varena enlivened the afternoon. She Skyped her Mum around 6pm and we had a tasty salmon dinner afterwards.
