Recovering From A Bit Of A "Booking" Problem

The weather has improved but still remains a little on the cooler side for where we live. Hopefully we will get above the mid 20's today as cloud has been around now for some time. It is clear and sunny now but a little breezy off the Pacific Ocean here.

Plenty of sport on TV has kept me occupied and Trish continues to work away on her website for the Craft Association here.

I have been a little busy with the Community Association as we had a public meeting on Monday night and I was involved with trying to alert everyone via the website what was happening. Check out the right hand side of this blog and look for "Bellvista Community Association" under Les' Links. The 'News&Events' page is where I have all the latest news.

We even had our local Member of State Parliament visit yesterday to check out some of the hassles we have with only one road into the estate. I was a member of the deputation that ran him through resident's concerns.

As many of you know we are heading south in a week or so, Trish for two weeks and me for one week. We have a wedding to get to down on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. We had booked into a motel for the our one night down there. Trish got a call this morning to say "Sorry, but we have double booked your room and you can't have it now!" We hastily went to book a 'cabin' at the nearby caravan park but were informed, "Sorry, we are booked out!"

We eventually found a couple rooms at the Dromana Hotel which is only slightly dearer than the run down motel we had booked into. And it is right on the foreshore!

I am doing a presentation at the Computer Club this week on buying things on the internet. It is pretty basic stuff but sometimes that is just the sort of information some people want.
