Spring Definitely Not In The Air

It was a bit windy but the temperature was around 25 degrees when we flew out of the Sunshine Coast around lunchtime yesterday for Melbourne.  Spring was definitely in the air.  There wasn't any hint at all of spring in the air when we arrived at a windswept Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne several hours later.  The landing with 60kph winds brought back some memories of internal flights we had in China a few years earlier but we arrived safe and sound.

The hasty walk across the tarmac to the airport buildings was bracing.  It wasn't long after getting inside that another couple of layers of clothes went on!  After a short wait we were collected by Chris and enjoyed a lovely hot meal at his place and then we left for Berwick and Kate's place.  We picked up the car with some of our winter clothing stored in a bag in the boot.

There were the normal chats before slipping off for a good night's sleep.

Overcast cold weather greeted us Friday morning.  I wasn't too keen on braving the cold and possible wet night air to attend the footy later this evening so I made an early decision not to go.

We completed a few chores throughout the day but much was spent just getting organised.  With kids going to school, then kindergarten along with piano lessons, kids club etc this is a pretty busy spot.

We will visit friends tomorrow afternoon who just happen to have Pay TV and live coverage of my team's game.  The weather certainly cuts down on what anyone can do around this part of the world.
