Sorry About The Photo!

Tuesday was the first day with all the little darlings off to their first day of school for 2008. Peace and quiet returned to our small home. One disadvantage of our little place is that our neighbours can be right on top of us. We came up here with the thought of buying a townhouse and we believe that would have been a bit noisy too. So overall, what we now have is a much better option than a townhouse!

A nice warm day so I inflated the replacement pool seat and set about having a relaxing cool off. Sorry about the togs / bathers / swimmers in this photo but it was a very pleasant spot to spend an hour or so Tuesday afternoon. The new pool chair has a new improved inflation mouthpiece. You don't have to squeeze the mouthpiece as you blow it up and this makes inflation very quick and easy. After inflation, you replace the plug and then push the mouthpiece back into the chair,and this stops the flow of air. Deflating the chair after use is super quick too.

Some areas of Brisbane had a couple of inches of rain yesterday yet we had a quick shower just on dusk. However overnight there were more showers and we had another 12 mls of rain.

More showers today as well but it is still warm. It was too wet for a bike ride so today the floors were vacuumed and then steam cleaned. Hot work when it is steamy outside! I had a quick swim after cleaning the floors and saw the pool temp was still 25 degrees from overnight.

Last night we watched the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club". It was a lovely movie and everyone in the story finished up 'happily ever after'. It was a 'feelgood' move unlike the brutality we saw in "No Country For Old Men" or the tragic consequences of a lie in "Atonement".
