 Friday 2^nd June

SHE SAID:

We headed out into the fog this morning. Boyup Brook was still covered in it at 9am, but as we drove out of the valley it cleared almost instantly.

We had 7 stops along our morning drive. Some places I’d been to in October last year & some were new places. The orchids were sparser than yesterday, but we did find some. Geoff came up trumps again, finding a few open Cupped Banded Greenhoods, a new one for the year. 

The Hares were out in several locations, & I managed to find a couple of Bunnies & Dark Banded Greenhoods later in the day, close to town. Nice to see another new flowering orchid for the current season. I think new to me orchids this year will be hard to find as I’ve seen so many over here now, but I plan to try.

PS: The power tripped out around 8.30-9pm! Geoff thinks it maybe the power cord!

At least the power outage was after the footy! But why the circuit breaker tripped and won't reset, I don't know. There had been no appliances turned on or off at that time. I fudged around in the cold and dark for a while, trying different things. But, I gave up after a while and will check what I can in the morning. Bugger.
