While we hear that the northern hemisphere is having freezing weather we are having heatwaves in Queensland.
It is a bit hot for Bernie to be working on his house.
It is school summer holidays at the moment so Bernie, Sonya, Fox, Banjo and cousin Simon all went to Melbourne for a short holiday (vacation). Bernie, Simon, the boys and the dog drove down. It takes two days. Sonya had to work a bit longer and then she flew down to join them at Bernie's family's beach house at Rye on the Mornington Peninsula.
The night before they left for Melbourne there was a snake in their front entrance. There were no snake catchers available but 14 year old Fox said I'll catch it. He bravely picked it up with the help of a rake and dropped it in a bag his dad was holding. They took it to a park and let it go. It was a Python, they are not venomous but can give a nasty bite which usually gets infected from the bacteria on its fangs.
While in Rye they caught up with Bernie's family. His sister , Margaret and brother in law, Jason have a nice boat.
Jason and Margaret having fun.
Sonya's cousin, Simon, from Switzerland is enjoying the Australian summer. He loves the beaches.
Bernie was happy to see his mother and she him.
It's good to see them all having a break from work and enjoying family.
There's nothing quite like a good family get-together especially in those surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI saw the heatwaves in Queensland and Western Australia :( Sheesh :(
ReplyDeleteAnd although I don't like winter at all, worse still is anything over 36c. Perfect for me is 24c to 32c, with rain falling only at night.
The Rye water looks fantastic!
so glad they could escape the heat wave and play in that beautiful water and be with family. just saw on the news, he people from the blizzards up north came to Florida to get some sunshine. Jokes on them, the ones that came to the top part are in the first blizzard ever in Florida... we are nasty, raining and cold here but not snow... 3 days of dreary/cold.. should end on Sunday. it makes sense if we are COLD you are HOT. since we are the opposite in weather
ReplyDeleteIt's 20*F here right now...too cold for us!
ReplyDeleteI know that heat...could use a bit of it right now! lol
Stay cool...and that's some snake!
hugs

Nice to see that your family members are having a wonderful summer getaway. Also auick thinking on your grandson’s part to safely capture that snake in their yard.
ReplyDeleteOkay...yikes on the python..I am not a snake lover of any kind. Too scary for me.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting that its summer to you down under. Enjoy the warmth and it looks like your family has had a wonderful time in the beautiful waters.

ReplyDeleteNice to have a holiday with family and at the beach.
You are lucky to have such a nice weather while I am blind like a mole because of the fog ! and it's cold too. I am not allowed to go outside, it's to humid and I started a new medication with an in inhalator. The photos are so nice, they really have fun !
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your weather while we are having a very frosty winter over here though so far not snow!. Bernie looks so happy in that last photo. Take care t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteLovely sunshine and family photographs.
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK we have been experiencing very bad wind and rain storms.
Sending my good wishes across the miles.
All the best Jan
That looks like the best thing to be doing in those temperatures.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very relaxing down south. Fingers crossed we don't have any more excessive heat.
