Santa Parade

We were up early and went for a walk with Totty before it was too hot. Very warm down in Rotary Park.

After packing a picnic we set off to have breakfast at the Swiss Chalet. I had the muesli with fruit and yogurt and Jon had the hash stack and both were very good.


We then went for a walk around the town and found a spot sitting on the roadside to view the parade. It was really hot and my feet got quite red as I had no put any cream on. The parade was very good and I felt sorry for Santa in his red suit.


We then went back to the car and headed down to Tay Street Beach. It was a beautiful day to be on the beach and I was surprised to find the water was not cold once you had been in for a few minutes - not that I went in deeper than my ankles.


We had a nice picnic lunch and stayed for about two hours before going to the supermarket to buy some salad things and then to take an indoor aerial back that Jon had bought to try and get the new TV he bought for Heather to work. We are going to have to get a man in to see if he can sort it out.


Back home I had a nice cup of tea after a cool shower. We then took Totty out and it looked like we were in for a storm but nothing much happened apart from Totty panting around.


Jon fired up the barbie and we had a lovely dinner. The children from next door brought us some birthday cake as it was Petra's birthday, she was nine. Heather would love it as it is lollie cake.


I am more than ready for bed tonight. I had an email to say we had raised nearly sixteen thousand dollars for the book sale which is six thousand up on last year so a really good effort.
