Another
lovely cool morning with clear sky. The Rose of Sharon has given us a few
blooms everyday – so unusual for this time of year but it has been lovely, a
gift for my homecoming.
After
breakfast took Mum and Dad for a leisurely drive up to Ellis Beach to enjoy the
beautiful day. The sea was nearly flat. Jess was going out on her new work’s catamaran,
Passions of Paradise. Should be perfect – hope she has lots of sunscreen.
Looking
back to Ellis Beach. Dad used to stop here and snorkel around the rocks,
spotting barramundi etc.
Headed
back to Palm Cove. Lots of people fishing off the jetty. Found a park at the
northern end so I could get a photo of Double Island and Scout Hat.
Drove
down to the other end – looking south to Yorkey’s Knob. All the parking bays
are full so we didn’t stop for a cuppa here. Not bad looking beaches today except the water is warm and the stingers or crocs might make your day miserable.
Back
to the highway then into Clifton Beach. All quiet here as this is mainly
residential compared to the units and holiday rentals at Palm Cove. No coffee
shop here.
Passed
the turn off into Kewarra Beach as it is mainly residential too.
Into
Trinity Beach where I found a park under a tree across from a coffee shop.
Bought coffees and we relaxed in the car (too hard for Mum and Dad to wander
too far these days) and enjoyed the view.
Back
home for lunch. Dad’s orchid is still looking lovely.
I
headed over to Brian’s to watch the Sandown 500 Supercars race with him and
Ian. Rang Steve as he was watching it with Mickey in Sandstone. The boys had a
chat too. Very hot there but the fridge is working fine.
Home
for a drink with Mum and Dad then we headed over to Tracy’s place for dinner
with her, Katie, Helen and Greg. Katie’s high school graduation is on Thursday
afternoon so I will be able to see her all dressed up before I fly back to
Perth. She is heading overseas on a school organised holiday for her ‘schoolies’
which sounds wonderful.
Back
home for a cuppa and a bit of TV before bed. Mum is very good at taping all her
TV programs.
