Saturday 15th February - Geelong

It's a cooler day today reaching only 22.1 and last night it was 16.6. Blankets back on the bed again.

It's freezing cold here today after yesterday's rain and the cool change that came through. Not much point in driving around as the roads will be wet and slippery, so the chances of seeing a lot are slim. It's our last night here. Currently at 8p,m it's 16.6 brrrr.

Tuesday 14th February - Geelong

It's overcast with some heavy rain. Down to 17.5 last night and only 28.7 during the day. Flash flooding in some parts of the state.

We went to see Joe and Pat after lunch. Joe used to be Clive's boss at John Martins all those years ago. We ended up being 15 minutes late as the GPS said to take a hard left. Well, Clive missed that one and took the next left. We ended up on the freeway heading to Colac. So had to wait for an exit to be able to head back in the right direction again.

This reminded us of the time that we were in the UK, heading to his Aunt and Uncle's house in Marlow. They have a roundabout over the freeway that is three to four lanes wide. It's a huge roundabout. Anyway, it took us several goes of taking the wrong exit and trips up and down the freeway to get into the correct lane.

So their house is quite easy to get to, if you take the correct exit. They have a lovely place with a nice Balinese Hut out the back where we sat and had a good chat. They've traded in their van for a motorhome now, so Clive went with Joe to check this out. It's very nice, but I don't think it would suit my/our needs.

Thursday 13th February - Geelong

A pleasant 19.1 last night and upto 28.8 today.

Great weather for the domestic duties to be done. There is no laundry here so it's each to their own. So glad we have a washing machine on board. Two loads of washing done and floors cleaned. I took care of some business not previously attended to and then a lazy restful afternoon. It is peaceful here at the back of the park. You can't see where the other main camping areas are and we don't get cars driving past either.

It feels hotter today, probably because of the humidity, but it going to be 30 tomorrow.
