Easter Saturday

Easter Saturday we awoke to a cold and rainy day.  I had to go to the supermarket to stock up as there was not much food at the cabin.  Hovsep and Buster decided to come along for the trip.  On the way we passed the surf shop which was having 40% off everything sale so we decided to pop in and have a look.  We left with a pair of Roxy tracksuit pants for myself ( I needed something to keep me warm), Hovsep with a nice Rip Curl cardigan and Christian scored some metallic blue Globe basketball boots.  After the supermarket we went for a drive to Point Lonsdale Surf Beach.  The sound of the waves crashing on the shore was beautiful.  It is a sound I have not heard for over 10 years.... because of Christian we tend not to go to Surf beaches.  Christian wants to do little nippers next summer which is at Point Lonsdale Surf Beach, so I thought it was a good idea to go and have a look.  It was a pretty big walk up a pretty big hill to get there, but was well worth it.

From the beach we then walked up to the look out.

Hovsep and Christian (Buster) at the lookout.

Whilst we were at the lookout the clouds and sun were putting on a show.  I tried to capture it the best I could.

After the beach it was off to Queenscliff for some gellati and then back to the cabin for a game of Yahtzee and to watch the Tiger get beaten by the worst AFL team.

Strange Weather

The weather in Victoria has been very strange lately, with the typical pattern of lovely weather during the week and then cold and rainy on the weekends.  I was hoping for a few nice days over the Easter long weekend, as we were going to Swan Bay.  The lead up to Easter was magnificent.....around 27 degrees everyday.  Good Friday was a glorious 30 degrees, so off we headed bright and early in the morning.  We arrived around 11.00 and just lazed about and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.  We decided we would go to the Queenscliff marina for fish and chips for dinner.  On the way we stopped off at Point Lonsdale beach as it was such a lovely afternoon / early evening.

It was 29 degrees when we were driving to the Marina.  We sat outside and ate beautiful fresh Calamari and fish and chips whilst taking in the views of the beautiful boats.  It was very busy with people everywhere enjoying the great weather.  A cool change had been forecast for the evening.  The wind picked up and I looked behind me and saw BIG grey clouds heading our way.  I had never seen clouds move so fast.  We decided to leave the rest of our dinner and run to the car.  We only just made it back to the car before the heavens opened.

The temperature dropped from 29 degrees to 17 degrees in a matter of minutes.  Very typical for Melbourne.  So back to the cabin it was, crank up the heater and snuggle up to watch a DVD.
