It is currently raining and the rain radar on the BOM website is showing lots more rain to the West and heading in this direction. The forecast shows 80% chance of rain tomorrow and Monday. Fingers crossed for dry skies at 10am Monday!
We bought umbrellas in preparation.
More family arrived late last night and while they stayed with BGWLBH's brother last night, they were booked into a motel for the rest of the visit and left us late this afternoon to book in. We spent some time with them during the day, and tomorrow, the last brother and his family are due to arrive.
More flowers were delivered this morning, along with a giant fruit basket that included cookies, tomato relish and semi dried grapes.
An elderly neighbour made an emotional delivery of a very large container of home made pea and ham soup (which was Dad W's favourite) and some warm date scones wrapped in foil.
It was nice and easy to heat up soup for dinner. Minimal effort. Minimal cleaning up.
BGWLBH and I cracked open some of our wine that we purchased on our road trip and had a glass each with dinner. It was as good as we remembered.
I was informed that there is a resident Chlamydosaurus in the garden and one of the relatives actually got a very nice photo of it sunning itself on a fence post while I was out today. I wonder if my little Chicklet knows that a Chlamydosaurus is a frill-necked lizard??
Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to take some photos of this little gem before I have to return home.
I ran into an old work mate today. One of my favourite girls, 'Sharpy', and we are going to try for a lunch together next week some time. Fingers crossed our stars align and it happens.
I thought I would share a couple of photos that I took yesterday ...
I love the second one with Mum W laughing. She's one of those people who can't stop talking while the camera is on them, so I demanded that she "shut up and smile!" She thought that was funny and I pressed the shutter button just at the right time.
On these occasions, the big smiley moments are few and far between, so it's magic to capture them when they happen.
I'm sorry to say that my footy team lost their match tonight and now have to share equal first place on the ladder. If they don't pick their game up, they will slip a place or two in the coming weeks before the finals begin. Maybe that's their plan!
It feels warmer tonight, with the rain, I may have to open a window and get some cool fresh air in the room!
It's heading fast towards midnight, so I'm off to get some sleep.
Nite all.
