Well that went quickly!
Two months of winter gone…..we’re now at the start of the third and last
It’s Monday again…..the first Monday of a new month
Spring will arrive here in Australia in less than 4 weeks
Autumn will turn up for others in a little over 6 weeks
No new goals for this month except to enjoy it…..

Blowin’ Bowen certainly lived up to its nickname when this warning
kept appearing on the weather report recently for days on end. Strong cool/cold southerly winds don’t make for pleasant days so we had to find other things to occupy ourselves. The Golfer can be very ‘dad like’ at times……”Come on, I didn’t drive all the way up here for us to sit indoors. We need to find something to do”
Living with a person who ‘can’t sit still’ can be annoying sometimes for someone who’s idea of a good time is to sit quietly (indoors or out) with a book or crafting or even closing their eyes and enjoying the mood……I should have accepted that by now and just ‘go the flow’. I certainly enjoy my quiet times when he’s out ‘walking the course’ getting rid of some of that excess energy
Se we ended up watching the way these kite surfers enjoyed the really windy days
And seeing the ‘juniors’ out on the water one Saturday morning
Low tide means they’re way way out so this is ‘zoom’ quality
Driving up Flagstaff Hill to look down on the town and harbour.
After Cyclone Debbie (2017) made a mess up there, a new cafe was built, pathways and landscape plantings changed. Unfortunately ‘things grow’ and the views are not as good now as they were before 🙁
Going over to Rose Bay one morning – not to sit ‘n sun……..just to ‘watch the water’.
Surprised to see a ‘net fisher’ – not a regular sight. He certainly didn’t seem very confident, faffed around a lot, possibly trying to judge the waves……we’re used to seeing fishers sitting quietly, patiently – I realise this is a different ‘form’ (one I dislike) and wondered if maybe his first time because he kept moving about, changing his position, down on the shore…..then up on the rocks….then back down again- he left empty handed (as many do😊)

I’v been feeling out of sorts this week, can’t put my finger on it though – hence the two ‘easy’ posts last week that had been in drafts for ages.
We’re halfway through our stay so perhaps that’s it.
I know….we’ll blame the weather for not being its usual warm sunny winter way…..cold fronts making their way up from the south are not welcome.

Monday Musings – a time to think and ponder
Are you happy to see the seasons change – or stay still a little while longer
