To Do List Continues

Monday, 7 November 2022

I was delighted to have Jon arrive at St Helens late on Friday night for his first ever weekend here - courtesy of a rogaine cancellation due to all the rain.  Of course he didn't get time to sit back and enjoy it as there were still lots of projects to do.

So while Paul finished the bike racks:

Jon tried to fix the stupid drain pothole thing in the driveway:

and I laid more floating floor in the garage with the spare vinyl planks from upstairs:

Then they built the BBQ while I prepared lunch:

Then we were allowed to take the afternoon off. So we took the fancy sand boards and headed to Peron Dunes - I may have been there before years ago but I certainly don't remember it - it was pretty amazing.

The sand was still pretty heavy from all the rain so the boarding wasn't that great, but both Jon and Paul did manage to stand up on the boards from the top to bottom of a dune.

Afterwards we rinsed some sand off at Beer Barrel Beach - which looked a lot different with the tide out:

Then it was home where we released Paul from his servitude and Jon went for a ride while I went for a run.  After some more odd jobs we had dinner and tested out the cocktail glasses and watched the JWOC streaming in Portugal on youtube.  A fantastic day.
