Not a huge entry today.
The forecast was for rain, from about mid-morning onward.
We tried to sneak in a walk along the beach in the morning and left our place in full sunshine.
By the time we got to the beach we had chosen, some 15 minutes later, it has started to rain. We waited a couple of minutes and then headed back.
The rain stopped after a while and whilst it threatened to rain for the remainder of the day, it didn't. Well not until much later in the night.
Nick was prepared for an indoors day and had brought along a strategy board game for just this eventuality.
Star Wars Rebellion.
Here is a photo taken in the early stages of the game:
Whilst that sounds simple, the complexity is derived from the three rule books, nine different card packs, the array of characters on both sides, a multitude of playing pieces of soldiers and space ships and dice (3 different colours).
The set up time can take up to half an hour, so when a game lasts for 10 minutes due to a lucky guess of where the rebel “scum” have hidden their base (as happened the last time we had played), it can feel a bit anti-climactic. Luckily today’s game went for over five hours. I played the rebels and actually won.
Tea tonight was steak cooked in our unit with salads and sides. One nostalgic part of our holidays in Mallacoota was “cooking” the instant pasta alfredo packs as part of one of our meals and Saturday night was that night. I mucked it up. Too much water. It became more like alfredo soup.
I’m not sure this bit of nostalgia holds up.
No album today though plenty of Star Wars music playing in my head whilst we played the game.
