Bought a new BBQ on way down at Waurn Ponds
Saturday hot, 30 plus degrees. No surf in the morning. Shopped Anglesea got meat from Mr Stabb to do on the new barbie. Day so hot we went to the beach after lunch, to Spot (Eastern View). I had 2 surfs. Not great waves and a bit choppy, but good fun rides. Left beach at 5.30 and still over 30 degrees. Started doing bbq but no way we could do it for dinner. Just sorted out parts etc. Lovely evening. Wind died down. Drinks out on the deck but ate inside as the mozzies arrived.
Sunday 19 Oct 08
Didn’t surf. Low tide early and no swell forecast and wind going from N to SE. Spent morning putting together the bbq. Took about 2 hours and we’d already spent an hour last night sorting out all the bolts, nuts, washers etc. 42 bits to account for and build. But got it all done. Only disappointment was the the lid hinge rivet broke the first time we hooked in the lid.
The idea of Mum and Dad coming for a day… or the story of the polite people.
Andy Tait rang to suggest he and Jan bring Mum and Dad down to visit next weekend. I thought I should be positive so went wth the idea, suggesting Sunday as Saturday was meant to be a nice 30 degrees. Andy’s idea was to leave Macedon about 9.30, drive down, get here about 12, have lunch and drive back. Seemed a v long day, let alone Dad managing the drive and the steps! Esp as he’s just started using a walking frame at home. Resolved this during the week. They not coming.
