Columbus Day Weekend

We had a fairly social weekend catching up with friends.


Saturday morning saw us out and about shopping primarily for new pillows at Bed Bath and Byond. But we also stopped in for a browse at Radio Shack and Jo-Ann's (craft store). Late afternoon we headed out to Pastor Gary's for cheeseburgers and a game of bocce on the golf course. We caught up with lots of people from church whilst the kids, including Lucy, ran around. Side note - it is really strange to hear little kids speaking with a southern drawl!


Sunday morning saw us a church followed by lunch at Bill and Mary-Lou's house. They loved playing with their substitute grand daughter and Lucy even obliged with lots of cuddles. We headed over to their pool (complete with fountains and wading section) so that Lucy and Andrew could have a swim. The water was fairly cool and dare I say it but this could have been the last swim for the season! After a year of summer,and I never thought I would say this, I am actually looking forward to a break in the weather.

But after cooler weather over the last week Monday morning sees us at 32 degrees again!

a year of summer, eh? i wish i could have a year of winter! while melbourne has treated me to lovely, seasonally colder weather, it is finally starting to warm up and when i go wandering away from work during my lunch break i'm surprised it's so warm.

i saw that sydney airport recorded 36.2 degrees celsius last week, which only made me feel much happier about my decision to fly south for the cooler weather. while i know (already) that it does get hot down here, it is by and large much drier than sydney. i'm looking forward to reading about the carolina winter... :)
