Just When We Did Not Want Rain!

We had our first rainfall for about 4 weeks last evening, the one time we did not want any rain. A storm scooted through about 7 pm dropping 4 mls onto the paving around the pool. Yesterday it had its second coat of pigment and stabilizer, hopefully it had dried enough so the final appearance won't be compromised. It is certainly a shade or two darker than the original color and this photo shows how the water now beads on the treated pavers. The guy is due here again today to put the final sealer on. 24 hours later it should be finished and be able to be walked on again.

We enjoyed a great night out at our favorite restaurant "The Spirit Of Tibet" with friends on Monday evening. Tony took the photo while Paul, his wife Linda, Tony's wife Angela and us were in the photo. The night seemed to be enjoyed by all.

Yesterday morning Tony and I did over 15k's on the bikes while this morning was a shorter 12k's. It is quite windy today which made the ride a bit more difficult. Yesterday we rode down to Pumicestone Passage again where I again took the obligatory photo (see below left)! Trish heads to the gym every day or so. She is enjoying it very much.

We caught up with Gordon and Anne Atkin last night for a meal at the little Thai restaurant in Caloundra. Another enjoyable night was had by all. Gordon and Anne have rebooked the accommodation to come back again in 2010, this time for two weeks! Today we are heading to Maleny with them for a pleasant lunch
