Rain

Friday, 25th May


Last evening we drove to Cranbourne and spent a couple of enjoyable hours with my aunty and caught up on some family news.

This morning it rained!!! Then it rained some more!

As the weather left a little to be desired, we decided to head to Traralgon to visit some people we know (after a phone call, of course). We stopped at Moe for half an hour – home town of Les’ grandfather and had a little wander around Woolworths and the post office before hypothermia started to set in. Then it was on to Traralgon for lunch and a chat before heading back to Melbourne

Did I mention it rained? At this stage it also started to blow. The rain was so heavy that visibility was reduced, similar to driving in fog, not to mention spray off the road. Water on and across the road also made for some interesting driving. We had to rely on TomTom to get us back, but unfortunately she doesn’t really understand about traffic – a right hand turn across a double highway in peak hour traffic (without the aid of traffic lights) wasn’t the best of decisions on her part. Like all good tourists, we eventually did a left hand turn from the right hand lane and turned around at the first opportunity.

TomTom has been having a few issues since we arrived, getting the sulks at times and refusing to talk to us. If she continues like this and we don’t feel that she can be trusted, she might find herself retired!

The awning is out, one of the flappers has come off but the wind is too strong to re-attach the flapper and definitely too dangerous to roll-up the awning. Will just have to keep the fingers crossed.
