I missed you last night Laney... though I don't go to work. I love the week-ends too because others are home and more relaxed and we can get out and about and do things together

I always used to notice that dolphins love racing with boats... the faster you go, the more dolphins join in 😄  lovely creatures, I love them

enjoy your well deserved weekend break Laney

Good morning friends - present and MIA ~~~~~

Plans to do nothing progressing well ...... could get used to this 

Looks like a beautiful day ahead - think we had a drop of rain earlier - the gentle sound on the tin roof was music to my ears.

Nothing much planned AGAIN and no news to speak of.  We are trying to decide whether we will go down to a newly renovated restaurant on Port Beach.  Good recommendations from friends and a great location but perhaps better during the week when it would be less crowded.  It's too early in the day to make up our minds though ..... coffees and a 'you-know-what' is the go-to for the moment 

Enjoy your day whatever eventuates ....... 

Did you end up trying out that new  restaurant Laney?

It only happens in Melbourne

air conditioner yesterday

heater on tonight plus electric blanket!!

rain rain go away coma back on Thursday as market day tomorrow...

I know Nic.. It's weird

too hot to sleep last night and we have our heater on tonight as well

Hope  it's better for your market day tomorrow, I haven't looked at. The forecast yet

Hope you were undercover today  Nic.. And it's cold!  Heating is on again

Good afternoon Friends - here and MIA

Gosh the week is almost over - just one day to go thankfully.

Yes Deb - we decided to go to the new restaurant despite it being Sunday.  Right on the beach, great food and ambience and actually not too crowded.  Will go back again in the New Year as everything is getting really busy here now, particularly with summer really hitting now.

A hottie today and more predicted over the next few days too ......... don't worry - we will share with you

We had an early dinner down at the Left Bank last night and caught up with some friends there ....... love this time of the year in this weather.  The only problem not having DST here is that the sun gets up so jolly early ...... consequently so do we 

Oh well, if that is the only complaint I have, can't really complain lol

Thankful for the reticulation now.  It is a bit early in the day but the garden was looking very thirsty so it is fired up in the back garden at least.  Found a couple of leaks - they are a job for the weekend.

You and Nics sure have been on a roller coaster ride with your weather.  Hope things even out for you now and you can put those heaters away!

~~~~ to you all ~~~~

hi Laney.. you're right , the weather here hasn't been too good at all.

the restaurant sounds nice, perfect for NYE. perhaps you'd better book now?

Hiya Deb

We are grinches when it comes to NYE ..... prefer not to be on the road and anyway the thought of staying up until midnight gives me the horrors these days.  It has never been my favourite night of the year anyway 

We celebrate the NYE on t'othersider time - that enables us to catch up with kin at a more 'reasonable' hour- and we can do that sitting by the river in the cool 

We'll probably just visit friends this NYE.. I really missed not being able to go on the boat last year.  Last NYE we had friends over and went somewhere local.. Then I had this brilliant idea about where we could go to see the fireworks from and it ended up being hysterical... Or memorable as one if my friends put it.

this year we were hoping my friend who lives close to the city would have her rooftop garden finished to watch the fireworks from... Sadly that won't happen as building works are way behind
