A Warm Welcome Home To The Sunshine Coast.

On Tuesday we flew back home to the Sunshine Coast and the grand kids. The freeway traffic to the Melbourne Airport was busy but fast moving and then with the assistance of Chris, we arrived in plenty of time to catch our flight.

Since returning home the days have been sunny and warm but never overly hot. Most mornings has seen the group (minus me as the car only safely carries 5 and there are 6 of us) head to the beach before it gets too hot and too busy. They all return at about 10 am and head straight for the pool! I am usually strategically placed in front of the TV enjoying the cricket!

Fish and Chips for tea one night beside the beach was a thrill for us all, just so pleasant. I managed to get a 'brew' on one morning and had some expert advice on how the brew was looking from 18 month old James. He seems to have a 'nose' for Home Brew as you can see.

The pool has been the highlight for the kids but it has its downside too. They love it so much and expend so much energy that come 4 pm they are grumpy and exhausted. This tends to make getting them ready for bed a priority!

Yesterday afternoon we all went to a great playground area nearby for a quiet hour. The kids loved the swings and the climbing equipment. However the train seen here was a real buzz for them.

While in Melbourne I discovered Netspace (my Internet Service Provider) had changed its procedures for allowing subscribers to easily send emails when travelling. This service has now stopped. Therefore it became a real bugbear for me to easily send emails. I had to log into website and hunt around for email addresses after uploading them and then send emails that way!

Hopefully now I am at home I can send emails easily again.
