Good friends Gordon and Anne Atkin arrived Saturday afternoon. I have worked with both of them during my teaching days. Anne is a longtime teaching colleague and Gordon was my Assistant Principal when I was at Doveton North Primary School.I am pleased to say the home brew was most agreeable and the evening they spent with us was great fun. They had arrived a day earlier than expected only to discover there was no vacancy in Caloundra! Our guest bedroom helped them out. Today they 'migrated' to Rydges, a resort in Caloundra. Gordon was looking forward to doing a little bird watching poolside!
We look forward to showing them the sights of Caloundra until they continue on their way on Wednesday morning heading towards Roma.
Anne awoke early this morning and went outside to read in the morning sunshine under the umbrella pictured below. A gust of wind at just the right (or wrong) angle caught the umbrella spilling it into the pool. The heavy base, which was unable to keep the umbrella standing, slipped into the pool too chipping the fibreglass about 50 cms below the surface. Not happy Jan!
A warm day today about 27 outside and pool temp is over 24. Might get another swim later before heading out for a meal with Anne and Gordon.
