Belinda's birthday.
Ok, still on the island, survived the super bikes weekend.
Seriously, we are on the opposite side of the island to the racing track and even from here it sounded like a swarm of angry bees. Just one long continuous buzzz!!
Nearer to us was the influx of fans who book out all available accommodation on the island for the race meeting.
As they prepared to depart for the track each day they would fire up their motorbikes and leave them sit idling while they sorted themselves for the day and finally took off with much revving of engines.
Smelly and noisy.
They also partied a bit!!!
And we had the constant drone of helicopters and ultra lights buzzing noisily overhead. Some of those ultra lights should be booked for noise pollution. I found myself wondering what enjoyment there was in being up in the air like a bird accommpanied by so much noise.
Today that sound has been replaced by the bird calls. Peace and serenity returns.
The bathroom reno is finally finished and Keith is on his way to the island to spend a couple of days with our friends and to pick me up for the return journey to Horsham.
While the weather has not been very kind, I will be sad to leave here as it is such a relaxing place and my friends are wonderful hosts.
On a positive note my brother was transfered from the Royal Melbourne Hospital back to his local hospital last week and is in rehabilitation following his stroke. Keep up the hard work BB.
