Warm Weather in Cairns

Tuesday, 13th August








The hot weather continues; we have even turned the air conditioner on a couple of times.


We have had a couple of quiet days, as someone has had a sore back and been fairly restricted in his movements – but still able to stand at the sink and wash up, fortunately! While one of us rested yesterday morning, I undertook a bit of retail therapy and some “me time.”

Cat has been feeling the heat quite badly – he keeps muttering that we don’t wear fur coats when it is 30 degrees! – and was quite happy to sit in front of Maureen’s fan at happy hour, enjoying a cool drink and some chips. However, the feathers did fly when James’ kookaburra decided to join the party. Today, Cat even decided to try out the pool, but did stop short of actually getting wet.

With physical activities still somewhat restricted today, we did manage a short walk along Freshwater Creek – very pleasant under the trees. When I suggested a drive into Cairns for an ice cream after lunch, the back didn’t have any trouble sitting in the car – evidently the car seats offer good support.
