It is a much cooler place right now here in Melbourne. Kate, Arj and family arrived exhausted early yesterday morning (Saturday) all bright eyed and bushy tailed despite a 14 hour flight from Dubai into a 43 degree typical Melbourne disgusting day. There were extremely hot winds and it was awful.
Around 2 hours later the grand kids were asleep and the two grownups were about to hit brick wall.
It is now 6pm Sunday and a much awaited cool change has arrived sending temps from the high 30's to around 20 degrees.
We enjoyed our stay in Newcastle catching up with Janet and Michael. Mick is due to finish working in March so is coming to grips with the idea of retirement and considering how he will spend his time. He was assured there would be plenty to do.
Friday was a long driving day, almost 1000ks. We split the driving up between us. We arrived in Melbourne around 5pm after around just under 11 hours travelling.
It has been great with Chris and Wendy and spending special time with grand kids Andrew and Emily. Andrew loves his sport and computer stuff so we get on Ok.
Our day has been spent enjoying a lot of cricket on the telly.
If I can get the photo up it will be of Chris' backyard after the change and some cooling showers.
Tomorrow it is off to Drouin to a special Christmas night with our Melbourne friends.
Kim has flown in from Perth and is catching up with friends. Kate and Arj are also catching up with others today and have tomorrow to attend to some business with the bank.
On Tuesday our family will all get together at a holiday house for 2 nights prior to Christmas. For Trish and me this will be a special time.
