Monday's Update

Our visitors John and Sue left to spend a couple of nights with his mother about 15k's north of us on Friday afternoon. Saturday was spent giving the floors a clean and hosing down windows, the driveway and general tidying up outside. The pressure spray helped a lot. Again watching the enthralling Cricket Test Match on TV took plenty of our spare time on Saturday.

Soon after lunch on Sunday, our visitors John and Sue returned for a bit of fun poolside. However the weather was not very hot so the pool wasn't the place to be. Anyway the cricket (in its final day) became and enthralling tussle with Australia winning (somewhat controversially) in the second last over. Home brew throughout the afternoon was extremely pleasant.

We decided on the Caloundra RSL for tea and a bit of a flutter on the poker machines. The meal was OK in the renovated dining area but the drinks were cold and refreshing. Bed was a welcome spot later in the night.

This morning was hot and steamy, just the sort of weather that detractors of Queensland love to talk about. The humidity is about 85% as I type and the weather is extremely sticky.

A quick swim before breakfast or even a snooze seemed a great idea. The weather was pushing 30 degrees and the 85% humidity made the pool the best place to be. You can see John looked pretty comfortable in this photo.



A bit of shopping this morning, then lunch at King's Beach Tavern on the veranda should see the day out before returning home for another swim later this afternoon. John and Sue head back to his mum's tonight while we welcome Chris, Wendy and the two grandkids, Andrew and Emily up from Melbourne tomorrow morning (Tuesday).
