Visitor In The Sky

Trish and I were doing a little sorting out in the backyard this morning when we noticed the Holden Blimp circling overhead. We have the small Caloundra Airport just near us and it appeared to be trying to land there. It circled the house and the end of the airport for about 30 minutes before heading a little further away possibly to move away from the flight paths of small planes and helicopters using the airport.

Anyway it was spectacular watching this huge advertising machine circling so low above the house. It has a continuously running text display screen all down one said with its sales message scrolling across the screen which takes up about 1/3 of the side of the blimp.

The top photo is big file so should come up very well if clicked on for a larger view.

A glorious day today with max temp of about 26 degrees. We actually got 2 ml of rain last night boosting this month's tally to 8 ml when the average is about 180mls! Overnight temperatures remain mid to high teens.

Weather forecasters are tipping good rain for South Eastern Australia for this upcoming weekend. We could get some of this over the weekend too with some thunderstorms predicted.

Pool is at about 22 degrees and gets used occasionally, especially after some odd jobs around the place.

I did not enjoy watching the footy over the weekend. My team went down by 4 points to Trish's team on Sunday and some rude language was audible from the lounge room!
