It’s Thursday in Ocean Grove. It’s been raining since last night. Ocean Grove is on the coast just west of the inlet to Melbourne harbor. Yesterday was rather delightful. Jill and I walked to the beach and followed it to town. The water is gorgeously blue and green in the sunlight. The beach is wide and sandy. We found a few shells Ive never seen before. No bigger than a quarter they have a hump on one side and the other is flat with the spiral of a snail shell etched in it. There is no obvious opening at all. In town we went to The Endless Summer Cafe. I was curious what it has to do with the movie. The restaurant is covered with surfboards and photographs of surfers. I had some eggs, spinach, and toast. Jill ate a squash burger and salad. I got the button fixed at the iPhone repair shop and found out I could buy a sim card for a local number and data. Then we walked to the grocery store and bought some food. Jill chatted with a homeowner and it looks like we are going to housesit near Brisbane in December and January. The Cairns housesit got canceled. We went to a barbecue with Katie’s church friends. We learned sausages are called snags here for a reason I don’t really want to know. Today we will figure out what we are up to for the rest of November.
Keep updating Martin! I want to hear about life Down Under!!
