Spent the morning at Dove Lake after a wonderful breakfast which was a gargantuan affair of bacon, sausages, eggs, toast and everything else that makes up a good English breakfast. The weather's been stunning. After the morning rain the skies cleared and and the sun's been out. By the afternoon the sky was blue with only the odd cloud here and there.

Wrote a 4th postcard to Claire. Hope she's getting them all. I wish she was here now. Felt very tired and horny this afternoon. It was a gorgeously hot lodge after I got the fire roaring away. Just right for stripping naked and spending an afternoon in bed with Clairey.

I've been considering proposing to her. I did mention that this would make a great honeymoon spot. It's a thought but everything's still too new with us. I've never considered marriage before but then I've never met anyone before that I'd want to marry. Plus I've always seen it as something based too much on religion. Faced with someone like Claire it feels right. Like the ultimate way of saying 'I love you'.

The evening was spent doing the Enchanted Evening Stroll. All very good. Starting as darkness begins to fall. Saw a wild wombat and a baby Tasmanian Devil. So much variation in the plant life too. Wombats here even do square poo to stop them rolling away. How crazy is that?
