It seems we have brought the stormy Queensland weather with us to Melbourne. Wild winds, thunder and lightning are the order of the day. On top of yesterday's 40 mls there is a further 54 mls in the rain gauge this morning and more heavy rain is predicted for this afternoon. It has cooled off too, going from temps in the high 20's to the mid teens today! It is a bit cold for us.
Kate and Trish are finalizing Christmas shopping. As we fly down, what we can bring with us is limited. Therefore Trish buys most gifts when we are down here. There is also more food to be purchased getting ready for our 'family' Christmas which we are celebrating tomorrow. It has been my job to do some 'baby sitting' which isn't too bad a pastime for a proud grandfather while the ladies are doing the shopping!Arj finished school for the year yesterday and is currently 'sleeping' as he continues to improve after a heavy "End of School Year" function yesterday. The Jim Beam went down pretty well from what I can work out.
Stormy weather yesterday meant any visiting was sidelined, too inclement to be driving! However last night we went Vietnamese in Springvale with former colleagues Gordon and Anne Atkin, Eddie and Patsy Riordan and Graeme Williamson. We had a terrific night with marvellous food and lots of remembering old times.
