Normal Winter Weather Returns

Both yesterday and today have seen a return to more normal winter weather for this part of the world. Nights are now down to single figures while yesterday saw a max of 23 degrees and beautiful sunny day.

Our caravanning friends are still in Townsville. We all agree that Townsville seems a nicer place to visit than the better known Cairns. Today they are catching the ferry over to Magnetic Island for the day. Magnetic Island's Horseshoe Bay faces north and thus has protection from the cooler southerly winds is a truly idyllic spot to visit. They move on to Rollingstone (about 60k's north of Townsville) tomorrow.

When watching TV there are a couple of shows on the Pay TV I particularly like which are not necessarily Trish's preferred viewing. Trish usually heads to the second bedroom where she will do a little sewing or watch TV on her 'portable'. At last I convinced her to update the little portable and we bought this 19" widescreen LCD TV with a built in Standard Definition Tuner late last week. It has a great picture and makes Trish's viewing even more enjoyable. It will be a great attraction for visitors as it lives in the visitor's bedroom!

Trish flies to Melbourne next Monday which is 1 week before our daughter Kate is due to have her second child. Grandma Trish is looking forward to catching up with the grandchildren ...... and family and friends.
