Spectacular weather today and what better way to enjoy it than returning to the infamous Florida Mall...what a difference...all that was missing was a haunting wind stirring up the sand and pushing tumbleweed gently across the street. Not quite but compared to other occasions this was just like walking around a mall at home...painful still but no crowds. Finding a car park was so easy we actually tried out several to see which suited the Chrysler best.
Plan had been to head up Mt Dora, some quaint little town an hour or so north (had directions down pat for this venture), but this plan was torn asunder when littlest tourist got up at 9am and then we noticed her absent at 9.30am only to find she had gone back to bed and despite plenty of noise around was fast asleep...she eventually resurfaced shortly before midday but by that stage to late to head up to Mt Dora. So instead....Florida Mall. Uneventful and mundane, so mundane Reubs got his hair cut. Another visit to the M&M store...very cutesy for the kids (and mum bought souvenirs!).
Back at the apartment now at 7pm and settling in for a very low key New Years Eve.

Happy New Year Family
Well here we are another decade gone- where did that go to?? We welcomed it in quietly after a scorcher of a day in the 30's. You obviously had a quiet one.The kids have done well haven' they?. Darn shame that you had to to the shops again Sandy!!!! You must be feeling very chilled after all the retail "therapy".Shame you haven't got a shopping buddy with you who would really appreciate and get excited about how many bargains you have purchased and the savings made on the clothing and footwear budget in the process!!!! We are going into Melbourne tomorrow and will stay there now until we leave early Thursday morning.We have had a nice time here-a lovely spot.Birdlife and bush is amazing. Well no news really just wanted to wish you 4 a very "Happy New Year" with health and happiness thrown in!! Loads of love to you all .
