28&29/11/15 Weekend

Hi folks , a quiet weekend , with cooking , cleaning and some exercise thrown in . The temperature has been a bit lower , but we did have some humidity yesterday - made golf a bit sticky .
 Lyn did some cooking , getting the all important christmas pudding cooked !!  She also did some shopping then went for a ride and a swim in the afternoon - busy girl !!
 I sacrificed and had a game of golf at Dongarra Golf Club - one of the best country courses I have played on - and they only have one greenskeeper on staff , about 140 members ( and they struggle to get more than about 30 for competition days ???? ) beautiful grassed fairways and greens - it was a pleasure to play on . Pity my score didn't reflect the quality of the course !!! It did reflect my lack of practice and fitness however !!
 Sunday
  Today was a bit breezy , we were busy figuring out what to do for the day , when we had a visit from Sam & Fiona and Lucy ( maltese shitzu cross ) to have a look at the RV - I played golf with him yesterday . Being a golf tragic , Sam was also playing today . They are from Fremantle and are up for a long weekend .
 We finally decided to go for a ride , even though it's a bit breezy - nothing like making life a little difficult . Riding down the foreshore wasn't a problem , we had a great tailwind . Pulling up at the cafe , we ordered our snapper & chips and then went across the road to a covered area overlooking the harbour to eat them .



  After lunch we headed off again , we got about a kilometre before spotting Fiona & Lucy at the next caravan park , so called in to say hello . An hour or so later , we got going again , riding along Ocean Dr beside the beach , before climbing the hill - that was the easy part . We turned back on the main road and hit a brick wall - the wind coming up the road was rather strong !! The road sloped downhill , not too much , but we had to pedal to keep going - normally you'd coast down the hill - not today , we pedalled all the way !!! We stopped down at the foreshore again , to have a drink and get the heart rate back down a bit , before tackling the last section back to the park .
 Back to the RV , we grabbed the washing and got some salsa & a beer , and sat watching the cricket for whats left of the afternoon .
