Two Weeks To Blast Off

The countdown is underway until we take to the skies and head overseas. We are both starting to create lists and get ourselves organized.

The replacement charger and batteries from Ted's Cameras in Brisbane arrived and all are working OK. Then this morning the other battery and quick charger from Hong Kong which I bought on eBay arrived as well. I charged the 'Hong Kong' battery in two hours and then took the camera for a walk. I took almost 90 snaps and still no sign of a "low battery' sign to be seen. A pretty good deal for $20.

Needless to say there will be plenty of local shots to be seen on the blog page from now on. I have a host of snaps to publish. This one give an indication just how far from Caloundra CBD we are. The vacant land in the foreground is the Caloundra Airport which is used by light aircraft. It is to be closed soon to become a new Caloundra CBD. This is where the proposed train station will be.

This cloud is an indicator a possible storm may be brewing for later. There is a chance of a storm tonight according to the forecast. However we will wait and see! Perhaps to ensure it does rain I should go and water the garden!

London is expecting tops of mid to high teens (or in the 60's for friends in Sweetwater) and down to 8's and 9's overnight. (high 40's?).

This sign went up a couple of days ago on the house next door. Looks like we will have more 'new' neighbours soon. Hopefully an older couple, no teenage kids and no dog! We can only keep our fingers crossed!

Glorious weather the last couple of days. Plenty of sunshine and temps up to about 25. (high 70's). It is getting a little overcast as I type late in the afternoon.

I just took this photo 'off' the computer (link 5 on the right to Bulcock's Beach) to show the approaching cloud.
