On Thursday Duncan drove down to Goolwa with Jenny to visit with Elvira. No doubt many weighty Retreat matters were discussed and decisions made. More importantly Duncan visited Goolwa and checked out the water situation in Lake Alexandrina.
Here he is checking out the bridge to Hindmarsh Island. This was the subject of huge publicity some years ago - Secret Women's Business.
And looking out over Lake Alexandrina - where once there was water in abundance!

This picture tells the tale. This is the Goolwa Barrage, designed to hold back water - when there was water to hold back.
On a lighter note - only 4 sleeps until we meet at the Thursday night dinner and 5 sleeps until the Retreat officially begins!! How much to do before then???
Well, I have finished one set of ATCs and the other is in mind. I have pinned together my Retreat Committee Challenge (but I am not really happy with it), I have started a Little Quilt of Love. Angel presents - not yet (sorry my mortal - I will get there, though maybe not hand made); Table Topper - not a hope in Hades; Show and Tell - luckily mine was finished in time for the Retreat before last, but never got there; siggy squares - not this time - too many from previous years; clothes - in the wash; Tiara - broken!!! Chocolate - good old Easter bunny; wine - bottle shop on the way. Anything else?
See you in a few days.
