April FNSI ….. and unexpected fishing

 I was all prepared for joining in with FNSI when hubby suddenly decided that he was feeling up to wanting to go with the fishing club on a local camping/fishing weekend!  I’d made an early start with some stitching on Thurs morning ……which never got any further than this ….. and I managed a bit more knitting if my sock when we came back home Saturday night to sleep! I’ve yet to make it around the other blogs to see what everyone else worked on.


It’s the Anzac Day long weekend here ( although that’s unofficial given today isn’t a holiday but tomorrow is the public holiday).  It was quite the process pulling out the camper trailer which hasn’t been used for close to a year ( last time by hubby alone) and took quite a few hours to get it out and down to the camp ground then back the next day with the boat.  We only managed to sleep at the campsite for one night as it all caught up with Pete (5 weeks post his big op no surprise!).  But the fishing was relaxing and Lucy got to have her first time in the boat!!! We took her basket  ( her safe place when we travel) - but when we were tied up in the river in the early morning sun …..well, I think the photo says it all lol  and now for all the unpacking and cleaning up lol ……I’ve decided a good clean out and organised camping stuff is on the list!!

For those wondering we were on the Murray River between Corowa and Mulwala ....... enjoy the photos .....

Safety in her basket when other boats went passed and rocked us lol



It was just sooo beautiful on the river  and lovely temperature

This is a Murray Cod - but undersize so he had to go back into the river!
Wearing my "Ingonish" handknitted jumper (another Laura Aylor/Fogbound Knits pattern available on Ravelry) - extremely warm.  This was the 2nd morning out on the river

Photo from the campsite - our green boat in the photo looking up the river towards Mulwala

Miss Lucy - loving the boat and sunshine, while watching all the birds up in the trees
