Warm Weather Continues

For the latest Blog entry from Saudi Arabia click HERE.  And the latest collection of photos HERE.

I hope the two links work OK for you.

Just the other day Kate Arj and family did a cruise out into the Red Sea.  The photo shows a group of the kids enjoying the boat trip.

We have had a run of quite warm days here on the Sunshine Coast with top temps in the low 30's and overnight lows in the low 20's.  These are almost summer time temperatures, not what we would expect for a lengthy spell in Spring!  The pool gets to around 29º most days.  It is simply gorgeous in the pool having a quick cooling dip before heading off to bed and to sleep around 10:30 at night!

There was heaps of both golf and cricket on TV over the weekend so that kept me indoors except for the occasional venture outside for a swim.  The swim would go on for around 30 minutes so pleasant is it in the water.

The front lawn even got a mow yesterday early.  With so little rain recently everything is dusty and all the lawns are yellow!  We do expect some rain over the next few days and hopefully the wind will revert to traditional south easterlies off the ocean rather than the north westerlies we are getting from the hot inland. 

Being close to the coast we manage to get the benefit of the daily sea-breeze during the afternoon.

Tiger Airways have some $1 return fares on for late 2015 so we are looking to book for a trip to Melbourne mid August or so.  Strangely enough (or perhaps coincidentally) there would be 4 footy matches at the MCG during our expected time down there.  No it definitely isn't 'coincidentally'!

I have chipped a tooth or a filling so I am almost ready to head off to the dentist this morning, a trip I am not looking forward to making!
