Warm It Isn't!

The sky looks great down here in Victoria.  But you don't let looks fool you, here it is "12 degrees but feels like 7.5".  And it is quite cool outside.

On the Sunshine Coast currently it is around 28 degrees!

News is limited.  We have been keeping an eye on our grand daughter Charli.  She is about 8 years of age and has been appearing each of the three nights of the school "Production".  She arrives home each of the last three nights at around 10:30 pm, well and truly ready for bed!

She wakes later than usual and spends the rest of the day at home being looked after by 'us'.  But now the Production is all over for 2013 and things will be back to some normality tomorrow.  Charli did go to school for a couple of hours after lunch yesterday which allowed us to catch up with friends Pat and Graeme.

They have recently shifted into "Woodlands", a 'gated community for over 55's' here in Berwick.  The lawns and expenses of maintaining a 4 bedroom house were getting too much for them and this is a great answer for them.

Everything in their home is new, they have enough space for their needs and they are very happy there.  This is the view out the back of their place.

Trish just took the photo with her $50 phone when she was showing Pat how it worked.  The photo is OK for the Blog!

This morning along with Charli, we popped in to catch up with David and Carol as well.

With things returning to normal tomorrow we will again be on our own.  The forecast for tomorrow is "Periods of rain" so if it is at all wet I will not be heading into the footy Friday night but watching it here on TV.  The prospect of driving some of the way home on Friday after the game at 11pm in wet, cold and dark conditions does nothing for me!

We are out for Vietnamese tonight with Kim.  We are really looking forward to that!  The food will be excellent, tasty and inexpensive.   On Saturday we are catching up with Keith and June for an evening meal and a spot in front of their TV for the second footy match of this weekend.  We are looking forward to that.

On Sunday morning we will leave Kate and Arj's home and head to St Kilda and stay with Kim for our last two nights prior to returning home on Tuesday.  Chris, Wendy and family will pop across as well on Sunday so we can spend some time with them. Currently they are looking after Wendy's mum who is recuperating from recent surgery.

Finally we will have a quiet Monday walking around St Kilda before flying out of Melbourne at 8:10 am Tuesday morning. We arrive back at Maroochydore around 10:30 am.

We may even get a swim in that afternoon, you never know!
