Pleasant Here While Victoria Swelters

Melbourne is expecting a roasting 44 degrees today with strong northerly winds. Here we are looking at about 30 but with humidity around 60%. Pool side could be the place to be!

We had Tony, Paul and wives around yesterday afternoon for belated Christmas and New Year drinks. They arrived about 3 pm.

The pool was a very popular spot and the company was great. We had lots to laugh about, lots to drink (we are all home brewers) and nibbles.

We have been offered a 7 night Accommodation package at a resort in Hervey Bay. John Logan's family has so far been unable to use it so it has come down to us. It must be used before the end of this month so I am off to collect it this afternoon from John's mum who lives near us. Once I have the voucher in hand we can finalize exactly how we plan to use it.
