Long Weekend

Yesterday was a public holiday across much of Australia.

And in Ballarat, the weather was awful pretty much all weekend. Winter most definitely came out to play.  It rained with enthusiasm. It was windy. It was foggy. It was COLD

Sunday's weather forecast from the BoM:

 My place, pretty much all weekend:

I did go out, a bit, but no garden tidying got done. Lindsey and I  didn't go to the Bridge Street market on Saturday, but we did go to Wilson's and Petstock  and then had lunch at Oscar's. We don't go to Oscar's very often and we aren't sure why. The food is good and the place is handy for Central Square. I think it's because we usually go out for lunch on Sundays, and then usually go to pubs. We should go more often. I think it's two years or so since we last went in.

On Sunday we went early to Stockland so Lindsey could get a hair cut and then went for a wander around.

Yesterday I only went as far as Mount Clear, to get some firewood at the IGA.

It was a very relaxing long weekend but I didn't get a whole lot done. I really should get some things done - I am expecting the first open inspection of Tani on Saturday and I would like it to be shiny and beautiful for any people who come to look.
