It's Thursday

Trish and I spent Australia Day (Tuesday) with a BBQ at Tony and Angela's home. Other guests included Paul and Linda, Tony's daughter Michelle and partner (just moving up from South Australia) and Tony's sister and husband. It was a warm afternoon so it was great to be outside. Tony cooked up roast lamb on the BBQ and the meal was finished off with Pavlova. It was great, lots of laughs, a few beers and great company. We eventually arrived back home just on dark and then watched the end of the cricket, Australia vs Pakistan on TV. I slept quite soundly Tuesday night.

Thanks to Tony's Facebook page for the photos!

Wednesday was again a hot day so we locked the house up, drew down the blinds and eventually turned on the air-conditioner late in the afternoon. The pool was a great spot too. We both had a swim about 10:30 pm to cool off before going to bed. The pool water temp was about 30 degrees so the late night swim was just awesome!

Kids returned to school here yesterday too. It was a hot one for their first day back for 2010.

It is expected to be 33 here again today. Though this isn't hot by most standards, when you put it with 65% humidity it certainly makes it seem warmer than your everyday 33 degrees. "Isolated Storms" is the forecast for this afternoon which means we will probably miss out. The forecast is the same for tomorrow Friday but we will be more likely to get something then. On Saturday we have a cooler day with showers forecast. These showers are then expected to continue for a few days. Hopefully we will get some good well deserved falls out of it all.


Trish went to Stitchers yesterday morning and we both checked out the Chiropractor in the afternoon. Kathryn, the 'mistress of manipulation" certainly makes me feel a lot better after a visit. My hearing aid is in for a service right now too so I am not performing quite at my 100%! This didn't stop me putting a brew on yesterday morning.

Recently our youngest daughter Kim returned from a a trip to visit friends in Thailand. A package arrived this morning with a Thai beer T-Shirt for me and a lovely 'Wrap' for Trish.

Trish is working at the Information Centre this morning. I am have an "Internet Surfing Day" with tennis on TV and the pool on the agenda for this afternoon!

Things have worked perfectly with the change over of my modem/router, The Billion 7401-VGPM hasn't missed a beat!
