This morning we went off to see Clive and Barbara again, this time with an 80th birthday cake for Clive, expertly baked under testing conditions by Rebecca and Fairy. He had a great time and we spent a lot of the morning chatting and eating spring rolls in the garden. We have even managed to convince him to come out and play tonight at the Surf Club. It's Rebecca's last night with us before she heads back to Sydney.
Time has gone fast already, we are heading fast into Easter Weekend, when the Island will fill with holidaymakers -in fact it's pretty much their last chance for this year as Easter signifies the end of the season down under. From now until September its autumn and winter, and the temperature drops as low as 8 degrees - at night. Did you all get that at home - that's 8 degrees at might! None of this snow rubbish we have to put up with; guess it must get as bad as a pleasant autumn's day in England at worst. Only saying today though that if I was ever to live out here, I'd miss the changing of the seasons - but not the dead of winter....
We spent a lovely easy afternoon on the beach, enjoying the warm sun and the refreshing sea. Haven't done much more than heavy paddling though, it's quiet choppy and I'm not sure of the depth to chance a few swimming strokes. We do have a pool in our complex though, and hopefully we will try that out over the weekend. Never did make time to go and moan about the state of our unit and probably won't now, as its getting well into our week here.
Just getting ready to head out to the Surf Club for dinner and a few beers. Looking forward to it - skipped yet another meal again today so we are all pretty peckish.
And that's that for another day........ It won't be long before we too will have to face up to this elongated winter back in Blighty, I hear its set to continue into April. Noooooooooooo...........
