Melbourne Tomorrow

Today is getting ready to go away time. Lots of small jobs like clean the pool, mow the lawn, clear things from under the patio, put the bikes away and put outdoor furniture in a safe spot. We also have to arrange to have the mail collected for us and the 14 potplants watered. Then the bins need to be brought in too! Lots of little fiddly things to do.

We arrive in Melbourne Wednesday afternoon and we return to the Sunshine Coast on Monday Sept 10.

We have a small courtyard to one side of the house. Building requirements mean this has to be so the toilet, laundry and 'office' (3rd bedroom) can have windows and therefore fit into building regulations. The area is so small though you can hardly do anything with it. We had potplants in there but it gets so hot in summer the plants don't like it all.

We are now up to option 3! It is another variation on the 'beer garden' we have had in there before.
