The Boss Is Back!

Trish was due to fly home to Brisbane on Tuesday on the 9:15 am "Tiger Airways" flight out of Melbourne.  She arrived at the brand new Terminal 4 and went to check the flight details and to do a self check-in.  But the machine didn't like her information she was putting in.

As the terminal was new there were quite a few Airport Staff there helping people.  It appears the 9:15 flight no longer existed, and unfortunately Tiger had made a slip up on letting us know!  She flew out at 12:15, I collected her at Brisbane around 2:45 and we were back home before 4pm.

She had a great time in Melbourne and staying at various places wasn't a problem, she enjoyed catching up with everyone very much.

Today being Wednesday sees her at "Stitchers" and there is a 'meeting' this afternoon.  She has been out all day.

Meanwhile other good friends Russell and Irene from Melbourne have arrived at the nearby Dicky Beach Caravan Park.  They are on a 3 month caravan trip away from home in Victoria enjoying the warmer weather here in Queensland.  They are having a ball but now they are getting to the final stages of their trip.  We had a meal with them Tuesday evening and we will catch them again over the following few days before they head off further south on Monday.

The photo shows a pair of bathers and a towel drying on the line.  I had my first swim of 2015/6 season this afternoon.  It was a short swim, only a couple of laps after I had become steamed up from mowing the front lawn this afternoon.  The water temp is around 21 so barely warm enough for a swim.  21 would be water temperature in Port Phillip Bay in summer down in Melbourne.

Needless to say the weather the last few days has been sensational, over the mid 20's in fact the last couple of days.  It has been clear blue sunny skies, just great.

And more good news, the Android TV Box I ordered has been sent from China with delivery taking anywhere from 15 to 30 business days.  I have a tracking number and it is already 'in transit' so I may get it a little earlier than the 3 weeks minimum already suggested.
