On My Own Again

I have just dropped Trish at Maroochydore Airport for her two hour flight to Melbourne. There is a birthday party on for one of the grand children in Melbourne this afternoon and Trish was going to arrive in time to attend. She is looking forward to her visit south and is due back in 16 days.

Weather has been low 30's during the day and low 20's overnight. The pool is over 28 degrees during the day (it was almost 27 degrees this morning at 7 am) and is a very popular spot nowadays. The new area is just wonderful giving us great shade and extra room. It is now worth every cent we paid.

My shoulder remains tender after visiting the Chiropractor again, she suspects I have strained some tendons in my shoulder. I am back on anti-inflammatory tablets and it is feeling much better now. I need to be careful with what I do.

John and Sue arrived in their Winnebago Friday afternoon. It seems a great unit and they find it very comfortable. John isn't overly technically minded so he had little idea on how to tune his TV. After a few quick lessons he can now do this effectively and efficiently. We then visited the local Camping Store where he managed to spend quite a bit of money. He bought a map book for Australia, a kettle which worked off the car cigarette lighter for his coffee fixes while on the road, a large step to make getting into and out of bed a lot easier, some protectors so the seat belts wouldn't cut into him while he drove without a shirt on and then a Satellite Navigation unit to help him find his way around. The Winnebago has everything that opens and shuts, automatic hatch closers and opener and then an electrically operated fan. It is a great unit.

They headed off to Brisbane yesterday about lunchtime to visit the guy who was having a 60th birthday party after John rang to find the address! I guess you now can see the value for him in the Satellite Navigation unit he bought. They expect to be back in Melbourne on Thursday of next week.
