It was truly delightful
And within 5 minutes or so
the sun had set - and the sky changed to another outstanding array of colour
Well, the last week was mainly wet, so many floods down through the Eastern states - so sad for many - and more to come. Some farmers have lost all their crops, and others have seen good rain for the first time in years - very mixed feelings all around.
Last Tuesday we had planned to be at Pt. Danger at 7.45 am for the 69th Memorial for Pearl Harbour with the Australian American Association - but unfortunately the incredibly heavy rain put a stop to that.
Wednesday night was our Residents Christmas Party at the Golf Club - very pleasant as usual, ah and we won a couple of raffle prizes - they are under our tree - to be opened on Christmas Eve!!
Kumi, (our neighbour) was first to win a bottle of vino - the "colours" of Christmas.
Basically last week, we just fiddled around in between heavy downpours - did get about 4 walks in (with umbrellas), Saturday morning we drove to Currumbin for a walk around 6 a.m., then onto the Palm Beach Farmers markets, and stocked up on fresh pasta, vegies etc. got home at 9.00 am, and the skies really opened up for the rest of that day. Yesterday, when the sun sort've came out to shine, we cleaned up the deck, and cousin Ails joined us for lunch, before going to visit her Mum - great to catch up with her.
