"Crisp"

It is late in the week so it is time to get the blog updated.  Again, the same old stuff.  You could almost take one week and superimpose it over the next and there would be heaps of similarities.

I do love the new tablet.  It is great to have sitting beside my chair to quickly access emails or anything else.  I can even have a quick check of Google if needed.  I have set up news feeds on it as well so a few clicks and I can catch up with what is happening with several of the newspapers.

The weather has been sensational the last few days with daily temps in the low 20's.  Overnight hasn't been very cold either but the weather bureau says this is all about to change.  It is a crisp 14.5° right now and you would have expected it to be getting close to 20° at this time of the day.

We can expect cool and showery weather for the next few days and then a cold blast early next week.  They are talking about 16° for Monday but by then the sunshine will have returned.

So on Monday the weather will be sunny and "crisp".  The temperatures predicted in the photo are from "Weatherzone".  The 'official temperatures' from the Bureau of Meteorology are slightly warmer.

Good friends from down south, Russell and Irene are out and about in their caravan.  They expect to arrive in Caloundra on a cool and crisp Monday of next week.  They will be staying in a caravan park at Dicky Beach.  Out of the wind it will be very pleasant indeed.

As the photo above (top left) taken at around 8:45 am shows we have had showers overnight. I will let a bit more time go by before deciding whether I will ride today or not.  I did a bike ride the other day and there was a pretty stiff southerly breeze and the wind chill factor was substantial.  It just isn't fun to ride in those conditions.

The fry pan I used one of my $50 eBay vouchers on was delivered on Monday.  The high cholesterol roast chicken which was cooked in it last night was sensational!

There was a Community Association Management Committee meeting to chair on Monday night and the following day was the mandatory website update.

On Tuesday afternoon four of us from the Association met with a two people from the State Government who were here to discuss social implications in regard to the huge Caloundra South development which is very close to getting underway nearby.  With smaller house sites nowadays these people were keen to discuss "Community" and what makes for a happy vibrant community.

Eventually they let out that they were really wanting to know what possible support structures may be required for a new community which services the lower end of the property market.

The lower end of the property market can't be too low as I collected a couple of pamphlets from the local Land Sales Office showing new homes on blocks of land about the same size as our small block were available locally at around $440,000+.

They were aware of the Doveton Cluster and I got a couple of raised eyebrows when I mentioned I had been a former president. But we will just wait and see.

There is heaps of sport on TV right now with either cricket or tennis from the UK keeping the remote control in regular use.
