Summer Arrives

Today is probably the first 'hot' day we have had this summer. In the backyard just prior to lunch it is approaching 31 degrees, the pool is already at 28 and humidity is around 65%.

With two brews on and the warm weather, the beer is brewing quickly. Today is a bottle washing day. A bit warm for it but the pool is always there if required! At least the warmth will see them dry quickly!

As you can see in the background, Trish has been to our local Bunning's store and the birdbath has taken on its new role.



The local Caloundra RSL has won the Best Club Of The Year Award for Queensland on 4 or 5 consecutive occasions. They have some great entertainment there. Visitors who stay with us all remember their night out at the RSL.

Over the last couple of years the 1960's pop group "The Searchers" have toured Australia and have played at the Caloundra RSL. The group is pretty well the same as the time of their hits in the 60's. I have been watching their web site in the UK and saw they were touring Australia again this January. They are playing at the Caloundra RSL on Sunday night. Having prior information via their website I have been able to book 8 seats right up the front for the show. I think they are better now than what they were in the 60's. It will be a great night.

The drummer and one of the support vocalists are not from the original 60's group. However the new vocalist was a lead singer with the one hit wonder group "First Class" with the 70's hit "Beach Baby" so is a pretty reasonable 'replacement'.

Friends we met on our Vietnam China trip are coming up from the Gold Coast to attend the show with us and we will be joined by two couples with whom Trish worked at the hospital.
