Bowls Again

5th August – Wednesday

Wonderful news last night when we heard that Cameron had won a Young Innovators Award and he (and Diane) will be off to Canberra for a posh award dinner and some very important media coverage.

Cairns had its coldest night this year – the temperature dropped to 16 degrees! The most beautiful morning though, so clear and warm with no wind. However, the wind did come back about lunchtime, but it is improving. By Friday, the weather should be back to “normal” for Cairns, so we are told. Therefore, we have made reservations to visit Kuranda on Friday, travelling to Kuranda by train and returning on the Skyway. Cat is rather excited at the prospect and will probably take a bit of getting to sleep tonight!

As Les was still rather lethargic after his migraine yesterday, he spent the morning relaxing while I tackled the grocery shopping (superannuation day, today). Woolworths have a good supermarket not far away.

This afternoon we played bowls again at Stratford. The first game of ten ends seemed to take no time, especially when one is winning. We played pairs today, which was much harder work as there was no opportunity to sit down or find some shade. The second game of the afternoon found us playing against each other, not that we are the least bit competitive!!! Unfortunately, neither of our teams won the afternoon’s prizes, nor the raffle. Next week …
