The day started off with a steady 20min jog on the treadmill. My knee has been in polite terms Fcuk’d for years and the 10k in June 2024 well and truly destroyed it. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a problem with my IT band but I’ve not been to a physio and the ideal solution would be to lose weight, but as previously mentioned there’s a caveat in that so we go forward. I digress, back to the treadmill I got to the 20 minute mark and my knee started to ache so moved onto the functional strength 💪🏼💪🏼. I was tempted to dip my toes into the pool but at 12 degrees I thought I would save myself for another day.
The main aim for today was to get to Sandy Point, South East of Melbourne, a swift 11am departure, and a 1.5 ish hour drive we made it to our lunch stop Inverloch (thanks Stricko), a nice little beach town which would be thriving in summer but quiet on a fresh winters day like today. And flat white, some fish tacos and a food shop later we were back on the road.
Upon arrival to our Air BnB in Sandy Point you’ve got to check out the cupboards – well who would’ve thought a box of Yorkshire tea. Now I’m not a massive tea drinker, more a coffee gal, but Yorkshire tea is literally made at the bottom of my street 10,590 miles approx away from my current location, so it was crazy to see this here.
Joining us on our little road trip was Pam and PJ, Dom’s mum and dad/ my Aussie mum and dad 😍. I’d seen Pam on Tuesday so was good to see PJ after so long. Once unpacked we trotted on down to Sandy point beach, there was some good sky scenes this evening, I’m a sucker for a sky/ sunset vibe 🤣.
An evening of home cooked pasta bolognaise, red wine, football (Aussie rules) and I even managed to introduce the snowman to the party they have a DVD player – when was the last time you used a DVD player I hear you ask yourselves 🤣🤣. The outcome of the movie – I need to make sure Noah has a copy of the book 🥰. It’s so strange having winter vibes in August – I feel like I should be browsing the Next website for my seasonal candles – oh wait that’s exactly what I did 🤣.
