No More Coffee

I think coffee is he culprit. For the past couple of months I have been experiencing tight muscles in my back. Really came to a head on Friday evening when the tightness prevented me form sleeping. It's Sunday now and the ropey muscles are almost gone.

Investing in Our Fitness

We have been putting off purchasing more gym equipment for some time now. Kept discussing it but just couldn't commit the dollars to the purchase. So this weekend we bit the bullet and got a good deal on a Life Fitness F3 Treadmill form DeGrandi. No more excuses now.

Lake Connewarre Cactus...

... for the moment. An 18 knot Southerly is usually pretty good on the lake. But not today. The weed has fully taken over. The view is taken from the end of Brinsmeads Lane.

Big Plans for the Weekend - Updated

Great weekend coming up. It's Sue's birthday plus Vic and John will be down from Sydney. If we can tie Steve and Regan in - we got a party.

So, we had a great line up. Vic, John, Sue, Regan, Steve, Jeff (Jill was having her hair done for a wedding, so couldn't make it, and Gaye and me. Jeff brought a ham sandwich, the consensus was bringing a ham sandwich to a BBQ was like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

The weather couldn't have been better. 30 deg, light northerly to take the combs of the tops of the waves, so after a great BBQ at the rotunda behind the surf club a Vic and I went for a first swim of the season. Water temp was an invigorating 13 maybe 14 degree. Sue joined us in the surf. Not sure if she was encouraged by us having a great time or the influence of a little champagne. Check the pic and you be the judge. I think it was a near break even weekend for Sue, She lost her i-pod and sunnies, but got a great electric wok from Steve and Regan for her birthday present.

Another Update: thankfully Sue's i-Pod has turned up safely. Phew - thats $600 saved.

It's Sue's Birthday Today

I will have to figure out how to play a happy birthday tune each time this blog entry is accessed. Hee Hee. Missed taking a pic of the chinese teapot and cups, and the woc from Regan and Steve, but got the necklace.
