I had a lie in this morning, I didn't intend to but I was awake a few time through the night and couldn't get back to sleep and so this morning I was deep asleep and didn't hear Jon get up. the result was Jon came back up for a shower and I had to wait.
I phoned my friend Mary and had a long chat and before I knew it was time we should have left to go to the beach so a quick shower and off we went. I did manage to get two loads of washing done though.
It took a while to find a spot to park and it was a bit further away from the coffee truck than I wanted but never mind it is summer and it is busy down there.
Once settled I headed off to get the coffee and Heather began the task of getting some sun, she hates the sand and it is a real pain for her!!
Just as well I ordered iced coffee as I did spill some on the way back and by the time I reached Heather it was not so iced.
We didn't have long on the beach as we had arranged to meet Jon for lunch. It was sooooo hot on the beach but the water was soooo cold. At one point a huge wave came a long way up the beach which sent people running to gather their belongings but most of them got wet. When you see it like that it makes you realise how devastating a tsunami would be if one wave can make so much mess!!
After a paddle we packed up and left the beach and went to meet Jon who was late!! We had a nice lunch at Burgerfuel and Jon went back to work and Heather and I went to buy a little paddling pool to have on the deck - it has to be better than a washing up bowl!
We got back and had a shower and filled the pool and then while the water warmed up we went up to McLaren Falls to feed the ducks. It was very busy on the falls as not much water and so the people can sit on the falls and play in the pools.
We went into the park and fed the very hungry ducks and had a walk around before going back to the car.
On the way back we stopped off at Bethlehem shops for Heather to buy some presents.
When we got back Jon was home and we sat and had a rest before I got the washing in. It was by now blowing a gale from the west and although still 27 degrees we could not have many doors or windows open as it was blowing right at us.
I had a text from Bronwyn to say her daughter has had the baby, she was having a C section this morning. They had hoped for a boy but have another girl which makes three but they baby and Bella are both well and that is the main thing.
I cooked dinner and after dinner I took the Christmas tree down and put everything away.
It is really hot tonight and I think sleeping will be a problem.
Heather and I are going to walk around the Mount at 8.30 in the morning before it gets too hot so I now need an early night to make sure I don't sleep in again!
WEATHER
Sunny and 30 degrees
