Another day in paradise!!!

The weather was perfect today with very little wind, complete sun with no clouds, a cool start to the day and warm sun with temps up to 20 degrees.

The day started again at about 6.30 am with a look at the tv to see how the world of the virus was going and it seems we in Australia are doing reasonably well with about 6000 cases and about 50 deaths.... all sad really but what is going on in the US is staggering with over 1000 people dying a day!

I hope we never get to that!!!

After breakfast it was time for a takeaway coffee at the Blairgowrie cafe and a visit to the beach to see the perfect morning from a delightful and different perspective

After the beach visit I made a few arrangements to sort out the rental arrangements for the house next door which included organising a skip to be delivered next week to get rid of the surplus furniture in the house... this will be a job where I need an extra pair of hands and Chris has agreed to help thankfully

After this it was time to mow the lawns at number 4.....

The mowing was relatively easy and it was good to see the backyard after I finished the job!

After this it was lunch and a bike ride. Today I thought I would take a slightly different route up Whites road to the back of Dromana which meant a bit of climbing but it was a good change from the largely flat rides I have been doing recently at Rye

The trip was relatively fast with very little wind and traffic although towards the end of the ride there was a decernable increase in traffic coming down to visit holiday homes for Easter

The lock down rules allow persons who own homes to visit them fortunately... so I am clear to visit our home at Rye

After the ride I decided to take a walk to the beach to see the sunset... it was lovely and I hope you enjoy the photos...

After returning home it was time to shower at ready myself for the Houseparty chat with the family in various locations in Melbourne. Good to catch up with everyone...

FYI.... I was alerted by a Board member at Alkira to a child science project which has been prepared by the Dyson Foundation ( of vacuum cleaning fame). It sets out various projects which can be done by children as a learning experience.... looks great for the grandchildren

Tonight I am resolved to watch television programs which do not focus on the current Covid circumstances... a nice change!!!!

Now for a few photos....

Early morning at the beach!!!
