When I was growing up in nearby Maryborough, I always really enjoyed rainy days, particularly in Summer which is usually hot and humid. A cooler day is very welcome.
The view from our balcony.
The radar map. There is a small cyclone further north which will result in more rain later in the week.
We received a bit over an inch of rain.
Our big news is that Marianne will receive her citizenship on January 26 (Australia Day) which she seems to be excited about. No doubt it is because she will have to vote in Australian elections and eat a democracy sausage as her reward. In addition, she can get an Aussie passport and we can take a trip to New Zealand later this year. By the way, Robin is going to take the train to Brisbane and another train to Maryborough on the way up. I am so proud.
Otherwise, things are much the same as usual. My doctor tells me that I am trundling along fine based on my numbers. Of course, at 78 I have slowed down. But on Saturday, we will fly to Melbourne for five days to see my nephew Ned. You might remember that Robin visited him a couple of years ago in Japan.
We watch what is happening in the US with ever increasing disgust. Neither of us will ever go there again. We hopefully will just remember the wonderful time we enjoyed all those years.
