Yes, it’s warm. Temps have been in the high twenties thru mid thirties with more of the same forecast. I know this isn’t what friends and family back home want to hear as they prepare for more high winds, snow and a possible white Christmas.
Just to rub a little salt in the wounds I thought I would let you all know that we have been spending quite a bit of time in the pool, alternating with visits to local hostelries where they are serving well chilled beers. Actually chilled beer is available at poolside too ….

And when relaxing in the pool gets just a tad too much there is always the hot tub ….

As I said we have been visiting various hostelries to sample both the chilled beer and tasty seafood. Here you can see some of the locals indicating their approval of the local cuisine …

We visited The Boat restaurant, up at Mindarie. where we had possibly the tenderest squid served in a lemon pepper coating. Once again I succumbed to the call of Little creatures and had a pint of their draught Pale Ale while the others partook of a local cider.
The restaurant is right alongside the quay within the marina with a fine view of some nice properties …

…. complete with moorings.
While promenading, and drooling over some rather nice gin palaces, I spotted this craft sitting idle …

When you consider the current exchange rates $55k is a steal. So, if I blow my pension on this, all I have to do is acquire a nice waterside property where I can park it. Then it’s look out fishies, here I come.
I have just been advised that, should I blow my pension on this boat, it would probably become my home. So I guess that’s another dream shot down in flames.
Oh well, back to the 32 degC temperature and another beer by the pool then.
Yeah it hasn’t been warm here as much as stinking bloody hot with temps in the high 30’s or low 40’s followed by temps in the low to mid 20’s what the hell is with that, on Thursday when I went for my morning walk it was hot at 6.30am this morning it was so cool I wore light weight long pants.
