Settling In

It has taken a couple of days but things are beginning to settle down at last.  Trish has come back to a full on situation with her Arts Centre stuff.  I have vacuumed the pool and washed the cars.  I have been over to the neighbour's place and updated him on three weeks of movies and TV Series.

We are currently watching Series 4 of the US version of "The Killing".  We expect to squeeze the final two episodes in before the footy tonight.

There is a break from the regular Friday Drinks today!

At last I have grabbed all the latest downloads and we are both now beginning to get our heads above water!

The photos here are all from Saudi Arabia and the KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) Compound.

The top photo shows the building in which Kate and Arj are doing their orientation.

The middle photo was taken from the same building but looking out over the Red Sea. Click on all photos for a larger view.

The third photo below was taken at the 'Sports Centre'.  That is a large size TV you can see in the photo!

I am back on my bike and getting the 12.5 k's daily up without a problem.

The pool is beginning to warm, mainly because the overnight temps aren't quite as cold.  The pool was 12 mid winter but is up to 15 or 16 now.  This is still much too cold for swimming!

I have been busy with downloading stuff but also updating the Community Association website.

Our 'arch enemies' the Maroochydore Based Helicopter Company recently had an article printed in a Qantas in flight magazine.  In the article it says they are prepared to bend the rules to be innovative.

I have forwarded copies onto our local MP and others.  The local M.P's Office has got back to me seeking more details.

Our weather is blue cloudless skies but a there can be a chilly wind.  It is around low 20's most days and usually remains in double figures overnight.

We now have both cars here in Caloundra.  The second car was handy today when Trish had Quilters and I had a Chiro appointment.  A neighbour has insisted we park the second car in his driveway.  It gets parked out of the way so he can easily get his won car in and out.

This really solves a problem for us.

And that is another task now completed, I have updated the blog page!
