At home

Today is our last day, with Darren, Jay and Jespa, at Aldinga Beach.    And we are enjoying a lovely, restful and sunny day with them.    However, the temperature will soar to 35 degrees or more, but at the moment there is a cool sea breeze blowing in the window as I write this blog.

Walter and Darren are watching Day 6 of the Tour Down Under, on television of course.   Jay and Jespa are playing a game, where they have filled coloured plastic gloves with water.   Each glove has a name.    I can see the game ending in disaster.   I have moved them away from my bed.

Andreena and John visited us yesterday afternoon.    They had a very long slow drive through the hills from Gawler, due to the Tour Day Under Race.  It was really lovely to see them, and we spent the afternoon and evening talking, eating and drinking some wine of course.    Andreena and I did go out for a swim with Jay and Jespa though.

Jespa dressed in his Buzz Lightyear costume.   A little hot for this time of year!   But he looks the part.

Andreena making adjustments to the costume, with John giving some advice.

Darren's back shed, which has lots of timber and tin stacked on either side.   A great place for redback spiders.    We thought Emma would be interested in this shed!

Walter and Darren enjoying the shade and an early morning cup of coffee.

JD sleeping on my bed.    Not an elegant pose I know, but a favourite of his.    JD often sneaks into the bedroom for an evening sleep.   And when the air conditioning is on at night, I also wake up to find him stretched out on the bed, and taking up most of the room.

My new $6 outfit.   And I know that many people will say it looks $6 too.   Very cheap.  The elf look!

A last look at Aldinga Beach.     I will miss this beach, especially being able to drive onto it, walk to the water, swim, get out and dry off a bit, get back into the car and drive home.    My idea of swimming at the beach.    It is also a very beautiful beach and very safe, no undertows or rips.    

Off the Melbourne tomorrow, that's if Jet Star actually leave Adelaide airport.   They have changed this flight so many times we are wondering if they really intend to fly to Melbourne, tomorrow.    We booked this flight and seats months ago, and now Walter does not have a seat number, and they are not answering their phones.    Jet Star is now off our list of airlines.
