Bike For Sale!

As the topic says, I may as well sell my bike, it hasn't been used for around a week now because of the wet showery weather we have been experiencing.  The morning shower seems to loom around 6:30 am each morning and give us enough of a dumping to make bike riding not much fun!

Heavy showers are expected this morning as the photo shows with heavy rain expected overnight and into tomorrow.  Then we should have showers again for the next few days after that.

My singlets have gone away and my T-Shirts have come out.  Top temps are in the low to mid 20's and is all we can expect.  The sun did poke its head through for an hour or so on Sunday afternoon and the temp soared to the high 20's and very steamy! I managed to clean the pool and wash out the pool filter cartridge.

We have reached an 'accord' with the Helicopter Company which has been giving our residents here a hard time from repetitive circuits.  I suspect my email copies of our concerns to local MP's, Councillors and Airport Management eventually worked.  Comments from disgruntled residents on both our website and Facebook page contributed as well.

We received a very nasty email from them earlier in the week.  Then came a smiling happy phone call hoping we could sort things out late on Friday.  They also promised a list of modifications they would carry out to their flying routine over the estate during training.  However since then the wet weather has set in and there has been no activity overhead!

There were no drinks Friday as one couple had relatives from interstate visiting.  The dampisgh weather kept the other couple away.

There was heaps of footy and cricket on TV throughout the weekend so I was more than happy to settle down in front of the telly and let my 'remote control' do the talking.

It was my birthday on Sunday so we were a little busy with phone calls from down south.  We had enjoyed a night out last Wednesday with friends so we just stayed at home.  We may hit the RSL on Wednesday night as there is a BeeGees Tribute group playing and the RSL always gives you a free birthday meal and drink as well.

Our regular drinks session should resume on Friday and by then we should be back into fine weather as well.
