Hot Australia day

Hi all, today is Australia day, meaning that everyone has a day off! So do we ;-). We do not go to the fireworks display tonight downtown because we like a day of rest, it is going to be very busy there and last but not least... it is very, very hot! Close to 40 degrees during the day. For tomorrow 41 degrees is expected. We are very, very happy that we have our (evaporative) airconditioning, we manage to keep the inhouse temperature at 26.

As far as news: the only news we have is that we have signed a contract to get a (concrete) lap-pool built! We are looking forward to that. The building should start in April and be ready about July. Then about 2 months later the paving around it should be done. So, next summer we will be swimming...

Beginning of January we had another walk with the walking group:

Then there was McNaughts comet that comes by every 40 years or so. I have been able to make some photos:

Finally Ellen went out on another kayak trip. Cousin Eric has bought a boat of his own and they went on a river trip with Tim and his girlfriend.
