As oppressive heat continues, our outdoor time has been limited to an hour in the early mornings. The weeding is finished (for now), and the door trim has been fitted, filled, and painted.
I have tidied and culled the bathroom cupboard and our cleaning cupboard. Our 3-seater lounge was at risk of hitting the wall behind when the end seats were reclined. To prevent this from happening, I made a timber frame that keeps the back of the lounge far enough away from the wall. One day I will get around to painting it!
We had a ladies’ lunch for our friend who is one of the 0.06 percent of the world’s population who have a leap day birthday. She only gets to celebrate her birthday on her actual birthday once every four years, but on each of the intervening years, she celebrates on 28 February and 1 March!
Lunch was in a restaurant at the Marina Mirage shopping centre. About half the shops are empty, but a couple of interesting shops are still trading. Posh Pets sells posh cushions, but Bluey’s budget does not run to such expensive bedding.
An upmarket furnishings shop had this delightful teaset on display. It is in the Art Deco style. Fortunately we don’t need a teaset as it was very expensive.
There are millions, if not billions of dollars, worth of boats in the marina. The La Luna Beach Club has a swimming pool on a pontoon, a bar, and a restaurant. Kids have to be 16 or older to go into the Club, but must be at least 21 years old to go into the pool.
Later this afternoon I took Bluey to the park and he had a run on the beach with a 14 year old dog. When they had finished running, the other dog went into the water to cool down, then collapsed on the beach. I was worried it had died, but the owner said this has been happening sometimes after running. The dog enjoys running so much they don’t want to stop him from running.
