Wednesday 30th May 2007, Sunshine.
Here I am at 5:30 PM thinking of once again how fortunate I am. I am hearing news reports of how it is cold and blowing in Melbourne, and snowing in Hobart, and at present it is 21 degrees here with forecasts of 16 degrees overnight. Ah, I could take this […]

I have had a couple of rather productive days: Some painting has been done, having done several cupboard doors already, but having a rest day today. I had the couch seats cleaned yesterday and they came up better than I thought they would, we must use covers from now on as […]

Been busy the past few days doing house chores. I have started painting the cupboard doors again, as a few of them do get knocked around.
I also took the seats to a carpet cleaner today and had them cleaned, and they did come up well. After 7 years of sitting on […]

A quiet day had today, I am hopeful of getting in a lot of walking over the next few weeks, but it has been slowed down a little with V8 car racing on this weekend. I did get a long walk along the beach in today, but am hopeful of a […]

On my own once again: Linda has gone back to Melbourne for a few weeks to visit Grandkids, so I am once again left to fend for myself.
The regular winter visitors from Victoria are starting to filter in so it won’t be long before the park is chock-a-block full again, and […]

It looks like it was just a 24 hour thing with Linda, or maybe 48. She is much better today, a little bit queasy but up and mobile. I think the day in bed actually did her good.
Today, as Linda insisted, was spent shopping for appropriate food-stuff for me to survive […]

Monday 14th May 2007, Sunshine Coast.
A turn for the books today: Linda has come down with a ‘tummy wog’ and for the first time in my memory she has spent the day in bed. She is probably no worse than she may have been on occasions in the past, but the opportunity to stay in […]

Wednesday 9th May 2007, Sunshine Coast.
A bit of a miserable time had over the past few days with my bad back, but then I couldn’t think of a better place to be miserable. I guess I am not really miserable, just down a little due to not being too mobile.
Another drama today as the water […]

Sunday 6th May 2007, Sunshine Coast.
Been here for a couple of magnificent days, the air-con has come in handy, and we are almost setup for the long haul. I am a little slow in setting up as my back has been playing up a little, and during putting the annexe up for the first time […]

‘WE ARE BACK HOME AGAIN’.
This is the comment both Linda and I made upon reaching the Sunshine Coast. We arrived there today after a 250k trip from Crows Nest, see map. An unusual trip today as I drove for a total of three and a quarter hours without a break, […]
