A Little Cooler At Last

Not only is it a little cooler this morning, we have even had a little rain as well.  Despite it being cooler, the ceiling fan in the bedroom still remains turned on for much of overnight.  I am guessing the house is still cooling down as it has been so consistently warm for so long!

There is a definite cooling in the air outside and the pool has remained around 24.5° each morning for my after bike ride swim.  It warms up to around 26 or so later in the day.  No bike riding this morning as there have been several very short but very heavy showers.  The photo above was taken during one of these short but very heavy showers. Great to see around 12mls in the rain gauge this morning and the pool has been topped up.  There will be a new green tinge to the lawn too.

Trish begins her 'prep' later today for a procedure she is having tomorrow.  She is on late morning tomorrow (Thursday) so she will need to begin the prep later on today.  The prep experience is much easier nowadays than what it was when we lived back in Melbourne.

We are beginning our preparations for our trip to Perth then cruise via Darwin back to Sydney.  We head off on Friday week with a flight to Perth and 9 days with Kim.  We have planned for a few days in Margaret River all together as well which should be great.  We board the ship in Fremantle on May 1st.

We busily downloaded all the info for the cruise off the internet yesterday using up a heap of paper and ink from the printer.  Then that afternoon a large parcel arrived in the mail from the Travel Agent in Melbourne with the same info included and several other freebies as well.

We are due to board the ship around 2pm as we have received our cabin number.  Friends Eddie and Patsy, who are travelling with us on the cruise, have a slightly different type of booking so they won't know their cabin number until they arrive at the dock and check in.  They arrive at the dock around midday.  We will be there even earlier as the hire car we are using is due to be returned by midday.

But we will have company by the look of things with Eddie and Patsy having to wait till possibly 3pm depending on what cabin on what deck they are allocated before they can board.

Following the accident the other day in which a young boy was critically injured local developer Stockland is going to run a session on improving road safety around this community on Thursday.  The police, council, road safety experts, us (as BeCA) and Stockland will all be in attendance.  I can't make it as I am taking Trish for her procedure.

There is always something happening around here!
