We’re back in Oz after our European adventure, with sunshine and temperatures in the mid 20s. The garden is a bit dry and I had to mow the lawns, but all else was good. The house-sitter did a great job of looking after the cats and the house, and the cats were pleased to see us back.
The journey was smooth driving to Heathrow from Northamptonshire and for the big hop on our Qantas A380. We’ve been a little jet-lagged and tired, but not too bad.
I played 18 holes of golf with Norm at Chatswood on Friday. I remembered to put sunblock on my face but my arms got a bit red, even though there was a bit of cloud about. The sun is different down under!
The golf was good, although Chatswood is a bit of a challenge to play and to walk up and down all the hills. Norm and I got a couple of pars each and Norm got a birdie (a lot of luck involved in that one, however). (Correction: – We wish to make it clear that the birdie was all skill, and after certain threats, we would like to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused by the suggestion that luck may have been involved.)
Lots of ducks and ducklings on the course and I saw a big bluetongue lizard lurking in the bushes (not that my ball was anywhere near the bushes, of course!)
