Getting Back To Normal

It is now almost two full days since we arrived back home from a great trip down south to Melbourne.  The weather on the Sunshine Coast has been delightful, not too hot and around 28 degrees each day.  Trish managed to get several loads of washing done and dried.  Two loads were washed on dried on Wednesday so good was the weather.

The pool is back in use again but the water is nowhere near as warm as it was even just a few weeks ago.  It was 24 in the pool this morning after my 13k bike ride and will possibly nudge 26 later this afternoon after a day's sun on it.

With the mammoth amount of rain the Sunshine Coast received while we were away, the lawn is green and almost 100% coverage.  There are still a couple of 'bald' spots but hopefully the grass will return soon.

Trish is again off to "Quilters" today which is fairly laid back for her.  Stitchers, where she is President, is the real busy one.  She enjoys today as others do all the work and she can sit back and enjoy the morning.

The installers from the sun blind place put the weather cover (pelmet) up yesterday.  They were two young guys who were only too willing to do everything really properly and exactly as I wanted.  I am quite happy with what they have done.

The blind has been repositioned ever so slightly and now looks a lot neater.  The weather cover fits perfectly and looks great and by repositioning it, we get even more shade.

We are just about to swap Health Cover providers.  The company we have been with for ever has really upped their charges.  Our coverage with them finishes in a week so yesterday (Thursday) we got in for new glasses for both of us.  They were paid for yesterday and should be available for us to collect in a fortnight.

It is a recliner chair weekend coming up.  Footy is back to normal, we are home and the pay TV is up and running.  We are giving Friday Drinks a miss this week.  With there still being Daylight Saving down south, tonight's game actually comes on TV here around 6:30pm.  The recliner chair will be set up and a weekend's footy watching is in store.

And I managed to get a brew on this morning as well.  Bottle washing and bottling will follow next week!

It didn't take long for things to get back to "normal"!
