Surprise Visitors

Cool, windy and wet has been the weather here the last day or so. Yesterday saw another 67 mls get added to the rainfall tally for January, already it is at about 5 inches (125 mls) for the month. However this is our wettest month of the year so high rainfall totals are not unexpected.

Each year John and Sue Logan drive up from Melbourne to visit John's mother who lives about 15 kilometres north of us. John drives to Dubbo from Melbourne on day one, visits the Dubbo RSL for a meal and they have a session on the pokies. Day two is usually when he finishes the 1900K trip. Most times he visits us for a little rest and relaxation (John's mum is not an advocate of anything to do with alcohol while John has been known to enjoy the odd glass or two ...... or three or four .......) They arrived on our doorstep about 6:15 pm. After a couple of quiet beers at home we all went to the a local pub for their 2 for $15 "Surf and Turf" meals. Great value and we enjoyed a few more beers with our meal. As the travellers were tired after a long drive that day we thought a very quick trip to the RSL to enjoy the renovations there was a good idea. We eventually got home about 1:30 am!

Friday morning was spent quietly watching the cricket on TV or enjoying a quiet read.
