Melbourne: Food, family, coffee, parks and random weather.

We went from 35°C in Queensland to 13° in Melbourne suburbs. It’s supposed to hit 30° next week! All the seasons at once! Fortunately there’s a cute dog to warm my bare feet.

Cooler weather does make it easier to do a bit of gardening. The sun is still shining enough on the solar panels to charge our car and the battery for the lawn mower. It’s so much nicer to mow without the fumes and extra noise. And no running to the servo to get more fuel.

Review of the charging facilities: Top notch. Simple power point in the garage. We used the car’s mobile charger to plug in over night, or when the solar was shining. So, the cost was about $9 or free to charge enough for 430km. Thank you, Helen ♥️

The gardening may have wiped us out, but that was fixed by coffee and a wander in the park, past some ducks.
