Haslam Jetty |
Been a few years now since we have been to Haslam but still the same quiet oasis by the sea. We were blessed the first few days with very cold nights (bloody glad I decided to install that diesel heater before we left Collie) and warm clear days. Got a couple days of cloudy skies and showers (thanks to John the rain god visiting) but all in all great weather.

Inky Linda |
Talking about cards – on a visit to Streaky Bay for a water top-up, bit of shopping and a counter lunch at the pub – I spotted a crib board at the local Vinnies. Linda has never played crib before, so it was “15 two? 1 for his knob? 2 for 31?” what the hell is this game!! It was amusing for me and frustrating for her (I loved it!), but after a few nights she finally had a win.
Apart from the squid on jetty the only other activity in the town is the daily routine of the Oyster farmers heading out just after sunrise to tend to their oyster racks and coming in just before lunch with their produce.

An old shucker |
Once again, an enjoyable relaxing week at Haslam – probably drop in on our way home in October.
Forgot to mention – after 71yrs – I have decided on a project for our holiday – grow a beard. Not a pretty sight.

Another interesting read! Can't help with the crib question though, way too many years since I've played? Maybe back in my Melbourne days! Enjoy.
The oysters and squid sounded bloody beautiful. You with a beard not so sure. If you get close enough, ask Linda if it tickles. Have fun
