Finally Getting Sorted

The Chiro has now been visited and my back is reasonably OK.  Clothes are spread out across the bed almost ready to be packed.  My recently acquired tablet has been loaded with podcasts, movies and TV shows so I am certain to be entertained while on the plane tomorrow night as we trip down to Melbourne.

Yesterday we headed to the optometrist and now I have a 'prescription' for new glasses which we will now most likely do when in Melbourne.

I have been successful in gaining a Balcony Pass for Ian at Thursday's MCG match between Richmond and Carlton and we have already purchased his entry ticket into the ground. Ian and Kerrie are flying down to Melbourne on Wednesday 26th and will spend a week with us down there.  They have a hotel room booked in the City.

The lawn was mown yesterday late in the afternoon just prior to a glorious swim and a frosty home brew (or two).

But perhaps the highlight of yesterday was lunch which we had at a small Thai Restaurant beside Pumicestone Passage.  As it has been quite warm the last few days this was a marvellous spot as the photo shows.  The food was a lunch special at under $10 but you would not have wanted to have been very hungry as they were budget sized serves.

But it was delightful.

This morning's bike ride was down to Pumicestone Passage again and obligatory photo that goes with that.  It was a little cloudier earlier and this has impacted on the water color.

But it was a delightful ride followed by a swim in the pool.  The recent warmer weather meant the pool was over 25 degrees this morning and very comfortable for a swim.

Last night we watched Telemovie set in the Cold War period in London.  The new TV series Resurrection was previewed on one of the local FTA channels.  It looked interesting so I grabbed my tablet and downloaded the first two episodes which we later watched.  We finished our viewing with the 4th show in the third series of "Silk" which is probably one of our very favourite TV shows.

It was a great TV viewing night!
