MORE NOTICES, TENNIS AND MEDICS

Oops, been using -8 hrs rather than +8hrs according to Google automatic time settings - so if you thought I was up at 4am writing the blog the day before, or even after, - I wasn't.  Having the camera on UK time hasn't helped Google photo arranging function either!
Layouts might look strange on phones - try on Web browser instead. 

Notices

Note to those who maybe haven't discovered it yet - you can double click (I think) or tap on photos to make them enlarged.

As ever, just love the Aussie sense of humour in their advertising.  This one was outside a posh jewellers.

You're husband called,
he said you can buy anything you like

 Apostrophe geeks like Niki (sorry I left some out of my WhatsApp's to you) get very upset!














Tonight's forecast - 99% chance of wine!


This next one was outside the Snake & Herring winery.  We had bought 6 bottles of their Riesling from M&S last year and were disappointed when they stopped stocking it - so thought we would go to Australia and buy some more!











And this next one was at the start of one of the coastal walks

NO Dogs - Not even little ones OR on a leash

- so that's no dogs then?


Tennis

Had a lovely welcome at Dunsborough tennis club and 2 hrs of good play.  6 courts set next to the bush (so kangeroo and kookaburra spotting), with large clubhouse for food and drink respite after golf, bowls, biking and tennis.

Low 20's still quite warm for us, so lots of water needed - hope to join in club sessions 2 or 3 times a week, but if it goes up to 30's we might be struggling!

Graham's mobility continues to improve - see below - and he is putting in the hours each week on his exercise programme from Tracey.  If only I had some of his determination to do a bit of pilates or HIIT - but I'll definitely start tomorrow!




Medics

Graham has found a great acupuncturist, who he saw in Busselton last week and Dunsborough today - he took the notes from the lady in Kendal and so it was easy to continue with the same treatment on his feet.  The swelling ankles and legs are definitely gone and there is even a slight change to the numb feet. To be continued......


 We both went for our 3 year mole check whilst in Perth and got the all clear - they are so geared up here with specialist clinics very common.  The UK expat doctor said he gets 1 or 2 serious cancers each week - there's a penalty to pay for so much sunshine.  He said I had good skin (looks horrendous on the big screen though) even with the sun damage. Niki has always been jealous of UK damp, moisturised skin and it's thanks to her nagging, way back in Sydney in the 1980's, that we have covered up in the sun (mostly!) ever since.  Got to be some benefits to all that rain!   On with the factor 50 every day now.

Obviously need some high quality English teachers to sort their apostrophe problems! Could we be tempted out of retirement for the right/write �� price Graham???? As far as an Algarve blog is concerned Cathy, there's is more chance of seeing a pig fly ��! Wouldn't know where to begin. Enjoy your tennis - don't win all your games it won't go down well with the locals. Lx
