Some Overnight Showers To Dampen Things

Yesterday we attended Fred Pereira's funeral. We don't do this sort of thing too often up here as we are not close to people older than us.

Over 60 people were at the service which was conducted in the Caloundra Catholic Church. The service seemed to concentrate on religion rather than the person who had passed away which was different in focus to what we had previously experienced.

The 'reception' was at the Caloundra Cricket Club rooms and consisted of nibbles with tea and coffee. As Fred would have said, it was a bit of a dry argument.

There is a piece on Fred on the Dandenong Cricket Club website which you can access HERE.

After a sensational game of footy on TV Monday afternoon and evening we headed around to friend's for a BBQ. Ian is just getting into 'movies' so some time was spent downloading adjusting and updating. It was great.

On Tuesday I had a CT scan to get done to check my sinuses and then both Trish and I checked out the Chiro. I was planning to visit Fred but he had gone that morning.

Wednesday was pretty much a quiet at home day but after bottle washing I had a Community Association commitment later where many of the Committee met with representatives of the developer Stockland for an update. This meant Thursday was to be busy for me with a fairly big news update on the BeCA website.

The strong winds we have been experiencing all week have now swung around to the east and so we are getting showers throughout the day. Overnight saw us receive 8mls of rain, the first rain we have had for a couple of weeks. If you check my rainfall figures you will need to click on Q2 down near the foot of the page to get to April's update.

Yesterday I had the funeral and today we have wet roads which all means no morning bike rides.

Daily temps now range from around 16 overnight to 25 during the day. I bottle washed on Wednesday after a late start and the bottles seemed to take an eternity to dry, mainly because the days aren't as warm as they were just a week ago.

Trish is off to Quilters this morning and this afternoon we will visit Fred's youngest daughter prior to her returning to Melbourne tomorrow. No drinks today as both of our usual drinkers have visitors. But we will be watching the AFL footy tonight, it is Carlton Vs Collingwood!
