Later on Friday a blustery cool change came through from the south. The winds were so bad the power was cut off from around 8:30pm till around 11pm on Friday. We sat outside cooling off for a while after the blackout before deciding to go to bed. This was good for me as we had been watching the James Bond 'Spectre' movie and I had already dropped off to sleep a couple of times. It isn't a great movie I am afraid.
Saturday we had a top of 21°, that is correct, a miserly 21° which felt even cooler with the strong wind! We had rain squalls, a very heavy covering of dark clouds and strong southerly winds which continued to buffet the Coast all day. A cool change here usually means a change in wind direction and the following day's maximum temperature is around 4° lower, not a massive 12° difference!
It was a Melbourne type cool change.
The windscreen has been fixed on the old car. I also 'did' a lady's laptop for her and now have it all set up. She is happy. When she has the internet connected, I will pop around and set up her wireless network for her as well. She has indicated she will pop into the home brew shop and leave something on my 'tab' there.
We watched the movie "Last Cab To Darwin" last night which we both enjoyed very much.
I did a 12k bike ride this morning followed by a quick squirt of "Ventlilin". One small squirt and any symptoms of short breath disappear almost immediately! The change in weather the last day or so has caused the pool temperature to plummet from a little over 30° to a mere 24.5° this morning. So the swim this morning was especially refreshing!
With all the strong winds and wet weather, the pool was sorely in need of a clean as well.
As today progresses, there is more and more sunshine and the skies are clearing. They are talking about 34° in a few days!
But there is cricket on TV today (Sunday) and then two weeks of Australian Open Tennis. There is plenty of sport watching to happen!
