13 May

Today started for me at about 3.00 with the beautiful sound of rain hitting the roof of the house! Such a wonderful sound which has been missed over recent years with the drought!

The sound made the sleep through to about 8.00am when I woke to a sunny day although it was very cool.

After breakfast I went to the Blairgowrie shops and had a coffee by the beach which was quite wonderful.

After a visit to Bunnings where I purchased a few items for the day it was off to work in the garden first up with mowing of the lawns and a general clean-up of both houses at Rye. After a bite of lunch then attended to a few phone calls related to Alkira then it was time to sort out the veggie garden with planting the winter crops!!!

After this it was on to the final cleanup of number 2 which is being rented out. I was able to confirm with the agent that the tenant was likely to move in next week.

Finally finishing the chores left me with a good feeling of achievement for the day.

I packed up the garden equipment and sorted out the bangers and mash for dinner

During this time I had a brief Houseparty call with Catherine and her children and Jodie Sam and their children... good to catch up on the day there was some relaxation of the lockdown arrangements.... it did not make a significant difference to me but I think the car traffic was a little busier

Today was not a day for bike riding and although it was busy in a funny sort of way I missed it with good weather

Looking forward to a ride with Gary tomorrow...

Now for a few photos....

Lovely picture of the beach at Rye at coffee time
