We came back to Melbourne last Friday night. We pushed off just after 9am that morning, and stopped soon after Yass for lunch. It was cheap and nasty lunch – McD. After lunch, I refuelled the car and we pushed off again and only stopped for coffee almost 5 hours later. Shortly after that we stopped again at Seymour, to pick up a case of Shiraz from Plunkett’s.
We got back at Camberwell around 7pm and after dropping off my auntie and uncle (Swee Har and Shu), I refuelled again and we got home around 8pm. I was still (surprisingly) fresh.
Tress and I spend the next day cleaning the house. After dropping off the dry cleaning and picking up milk and some other groceries, we went back for a pot of coffee before venturing outside to weed, mow the lawn, trim the hedges, blow clean the leaves, tied the drooping kangaroo paws (a plant) to stakes and generally tidied up the outside of the house.
After the outside, we attacked the inside and vacuumed, wiped and tidied. When it was all over I cooked dinner and before we knew it the day was almost over. I had wanted to also give the cars a good wash – at the car wash of course, level 3A water restrictions are still stopping us from washing the car at home.
Tomorrow, Barack Obama becomes the 44th President of US. All eyes are on the inauguration ceremony starting around 3am tomorrow morning in Melbourne. What a momentous occasion. The security concerns are huge. I hope everything turns out safe and well.
