Flying Visit

Kim flew up for the long weekend yesterday (Saturday).  She flew into Maroochydore Saturday morning around 10:30 am and heads back to Melbourne Monday morning.  The forecast had been for cooler weather and showers but Kim was greeted with 25 degrees and lovely sunshine.

The photo left was taken at the Mooloolaba Surf Club where we stopped for lunch on the way back from the airport.  There were a few in the water and many more relaxing along the beach.

We walked the shops and finished back to the Surf Club and a spot overlooking the beach. The cloud over the ocean was an ominous sign of what was to come.

After couple of drinks and a large lunch we arrived at home around 1:30pm.  The girls chatted and talked while I kept an eye on the footy where my team was battling against the lowest team in the comp. Kim adjourned to the backyard and the fading sunshine. After a slow start my team won comfortably.

Some take away for tea and a few more drinks followed.  It was a great way for Trish and Kim to catch up.  The later footy match from the Gold Coast (150k's south of us) was played in very wet and slippery conditions, a sign we were in for some wet weather.  The rain was heading north and arrived here overnight.  There were 31mls in the gauge this morning.

This long weekend is a huge weekend for The Arts Association and their Fair.  Trish and Kim have headed there this morning (Sunday) to make an appearance.  Family comes in front of any commitments either of us have over our local volunteer interests.  I didn't bother with Computer Club yesterday.

We have the Drinks Gang around later this afternoon.
