Skydivers

Today is hot and blustery with the temp expected to get to the low 30's. It is one of those days you get with a hot northerly wind, very similar to what Melbourne can get! Pool temp this morning was 24.6 and overnight the air temp got down to about 19 or so. Yesterday the pool was up to 27 and was pleasant for swimming.

Riding into the wind was hard work this morning.

I have reconnected the external DVD drive to the computer and all is working fine. No black out problems - fortunately! The problem was the faulty power board I was using.

We ordered a new BBQ yesterday and it is a bit more upmarket than what we are used to. It is a Weber BBQ and you cook with the lid down! We are due to get it by next weekend. The color we wanted was not in stock.

Not far from us we have the Caloundra Airport. It is expected to be relocated in the next ten years or so and the airport site will become the new Caloundra town centre. It will also be the site of the train line being built to connect the Sunny Coast to Brisbane. Eventually the train line will go through to Maroochydore.

A Skydiving business runs out of the airport and this photo shows the amateur skydivers waiting apprehensively to board their plane. I just like where they have positioned the toilet block in this photo! Very appropriate I think!

Last night we ate at the newly refurbished Dicky Beach Surf Club. Everything there is bright and new and the meal we had was OK too. Not quite right on the beach but it has surf views and the large 'open air' area ensures you catch the sea breezes.
