27th July – Monday
Back to normal weather of clear skies, gentle breeze and 30 degrees. This morning Cat was still on a high from the Swans win yesterday (has been a while, I know) and headed off to the pool to catch a bit of sun before it became too hot. He is becoming quite well known in the park now, and people talk to him as they walk past. Honestly, people talking to a stuffed cat!!!
We had some fun this morning working out how to make a video with my new camera – and more importantly, how to stop recording. Unfortunately, they are too big to email, so after I have made a few more, I will cut a CD and send them to some “lucky” people.
As we required some more stuff to put in the toilet canister, and the car needed to be booked in for a service, we decided to check out the new DFO shopping centre while we were out. It was quite impressive, with some different outlets to what we are used to in Melbourne – Ralph Lauren was a hit with me – although Les was disappointed that Nautica didn’t have a shop. We also discovered a shop stocking top quality polar fleece garments; with the low overnight temperatures inland, there is probably a market for this type of gear. And the shoe shops – so many shoe shops!!! Anyway, we did enjoy ourselves and came away with a couple of RL Polo shirts for me and a silicon egg ring for himself.
We stopped at Irelands Mitsubishi to book the car in for a service and himself asked for an early time. Guess who now has to be up before the sun tomorrow and have the car at Mitsubishi before 7.30am??? He can’t remember the last time he saw the sunrise. (Snigger, snigger)

Good practise for "him" for when he drives you to the balloon trip!
Sounds like you are all definitely relaxing in paradise! Looks like we might have a very interested buyer in our car too - hopefully it will work out.
