Woke up at 8am, had scrambled egg and avocado on toast, then went for a walk on the island, the beach was full of broken coral that clattered when stepping on them.

It was only 10:30am when we got back to the boat, just in time for morning tea. We had 3 jams on toast(blueberry, apricot and black berry)

Leftover stock, roast chicken and lemongrass pork were used to cook a luxurious noodle soup for lunch.

Finally finished translating Yrvind’s article in the afternoon, so I could start the illustrations.

For dinner I made tomato pork, very appetising.

A perfect, smooth, flowing day I recorded it like doing bookkeeping . Days like this pass through my finger tips too quickly, and then it’s almost weekend again….

Stayed on South Molle Island today. Finished oiling the teak of front cabin while listening to my friend Jessie’s podcast ‘Faking Cold’. Before I knew it, it was afternoon.

Hook Island was doing some bush burning. Half of the sky was covered with smoke, and the sun shone through in a strange rosy hue, reminiscent of the apocalypse. There was a smell of charcoal in the air, and insect ashes and wings floating in the air, which made me sad thinking of the poor birds and other animals on the island.

In the evening we had lemongrass pork, I added a bit too much lemongrass powder so the taste is too strong.
