All Is Great On The Sunshine Coast

Today is a little cooler with a top temp expected to be in the low 20's.  The few days beforehand saw temperatures into the mid 20's with clear blue skies.  Rain?  What is that? We haven't seen a drop here in around 4 weeks.  I have even had to top the pool up from the tap it has been so dry!  The garden needs some water too as does the lawn. We had a 'cool' change pass through last night dropping the wind back to the south and cooler weather.

On Thursday I drove to Maroochydore Cricket Ground where NZ were playing Pakistan in an U/19 World Cup match.  Pakistan went on to win the game comfortably.  Both teams however have made it to the final 8 teams with the next matches to be played in Cairns. I enjoyed the day immensely.  The Afghanistan U/19's were practising as well under their Aussie coach Geoff Lawson.  It was a great day.

Both the Afghani and Pakistan Teams took time for their midday prayers which interesting in itself.

Friday saw Trish off to Quilters while I attended a Forum organized by our local Member of Parliament.  It was looking at the future of this area and I enjoyed the involvement.

Drinks were hectic Friday afternoon and we finished the evening with some Fried Rice Trish had prepared.  It was great.

My footy team had a good win and now is ensured a position in the Finals this year.  They won't make the top 4 so winning the "Flag" is going to be a huge ask.  Trish's team is likely to finish in the top 4 and have an easier run through to the Grand Final.

Computer Club this morning was relatively quiet for me.  It was a pleasant change.

Trish has around 8 other ladies at home this morning doing some gossiping and sewing.  I think the former is more important than the latter.  We have footy on TV this afternoon along with a few 'revivers'.

We are awaiting a couple of quotes to have the area concreted at the back when we remove the palm trees.  It may not be as expensive as I first thought.
