Quick Post Before a Swim

Trish was concerned that the "Back" button on her $100 phone didn't always work.  It seemed OK when I used it but she was sure it wasn't working properly all the time.  She has had it 2 years now and it has worked fine for what she wants.

Onto the Chinese websites we go and her new phone will arrive later this week or early next week.  The drop in the Aussie Dollar hasn't helped.  The USD$125 translates to AUD$185 nowadays but the new phone should arrive shortly.  It has a better camera (that wouldn't be saying much) 4G and much more memory then her current phone.

That is a photo of the parcel taken from the GearBest website where we bought it.

Again we have the low 30's today and the pool is around 28° so very pleasant for swimming. 

We are in the midst of planning our trip to Melbourne and hoping to fit in with Kate and Arj when ever we can.  We will leave here on Tuesday Dec 17th and return most likely New Year's Day.  We have a two night stop over at Newcastle on the way down, arriving in Melbourne on Friday Dec 18th.  We will spend several nights in a hotel quite close to where Kate Arj and family will be staying over Christmas time.

We have our two night stay in a holiday house booked for the whole family.  Most likely we will travel direct from Irene and Russell's home in Drouin to the booked holiday house at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula.

We will spend several nights with at Chris' place and a couple of nights before heading home with Eddie and Patsy.  We may be after some contingency stop overs as well.  We will spend at least two overnight stops on the road heading home.

There isn't an update on the Waeco repair just yet but we recall the service from the place isn't super quick.

The pool beckons!
