Day 10 2015: Crystal clear...

Day 10: ...as a visit to Mum's

Nice day to visit mum today. Which is what I did. except for the ridiculous traffic to the Gold Coast...nearly two hours for what should be a 50 minute run to Mum's place.

Didn't do much once I was there, a swapping of late Christmas and birthday presents and gifts from Japan and beyond. 

Reflective pool...
Lunch and playing with the pooch.

This has been the family home since the late 1970s.  Unusual for its time, it has a pool in the front yard and today it looked as pretty as a picture and it was hot enough for a bit of a go in it too...

I've always liked taking photos of the water...wherever and whatever. 

Poolside

Much excitement too. I was given a rain gauge as part of the present-swapping. A nice old-fashioned, read it as it fills up version. My twitter friend Cathy (@Chasseur06) will be very pleased. No more rain-by-the-bucketload reports. Hehe.
