We're Off To Bonnie Doon

Well here I am back again, a few days after my first post. I honestly don't know why I am here as I keep thinking to myself who is going to actually read what I am writing !!

It is Sunday night 10.30pm and I have just returned home from work!! Who works on a Sunday you may ask ! Me ! I work at a basketball stadium. Yes, there are people out there that have nothing better to do then play a game of basketball in the middle of winter on a Sunday. But hey, I get paid for it so that's all good.

Yesterday, being Saturday my husband and I left home at 9am and headed to our caravan up at Bonnie Doon, Lake Eildon. We had quite a pleasant trip, it was really different driving with just the two of us in the car, no teenagers begging for their music to be played or wanting to stop for some food. We listened to what ever radio station the car radio picked up along the way and chatted to each other uninterrupted. I also fiddled with my camera clicking away here and there. We had just driven through Yarra Glen, when I decided to try and capture all the different types of scenery we passed through along the way. I have never really taken much notice before, but it really is quite amazing how in a one and a half hours drive, one can drive through so many different scenes. Unfortunately scenes from the side window were just about impossible, as I always managed to capture a tree or a sign post blurred right through the middle of the photo but I managed to capture a few shots out of the front windscreen. These two photos will hopefully show what I mean.

We arrived at our van and surprisingly enough the weather was nothing like what I expected it to be(rain), it was really quite pleasant and occasionally the sun would pop up and say hello. We said hello to our friends up there and then Hubby disappeared. Before anyone could say boo he was up a tree, he had a mission he wanted done and nothing was going to get in his way. Next to our van was a fairly tall gum tree that was killing our roof and needed to be chopped down, with a cry of the chainsaw and a pull of a robe it was down. Thank goodness we have great friends up there, which meant the mess was cut up and cleaned away in no time. The next project was started straight away, this was an extension of the roof over our decking. Once again thanks to our great friends before we knew it the roof was up, not totally completed but what could be done was done. We had dinner watched a bit of tv then went to bed. In the morning we got up and tidied up inside and out, once again it surprising what one can get done with no kids around to make a mess. By 2pm we headed for home !! We had a very productive and pleasant weekend and were disappointed that it was over but as I mentioned earlier I had to wort !!
