Not so welcome Winter

We have done it again, having incurred the wrath of the weather gods, we have spent the last three days watching the rain pelt down and high winds ablowing. The Gold Coast Bulletin advised readers to prepare for a "weather bomb" similar to a category one cyclone. Cabin fever is setting in again.
All is not lost though!  We have discovered a lovely area of  fruit and vegetable farms very close by. It is such a delight to see acres of vegie plots and to be able to buy the fresh produce from stands. After eating the sad stuff from the Supermarkets we are over the moon.
One of the farms has a sign saying "pea pickers wanted" It would suit Steve but he would probably eat more than he produced. Every time we buy a bag he eats them before we arrive home.
Kingscliff, also nearby, is a beaut seaside town with all the amenities including a very good Library which we have joined.
Murwillumbah is 15mins away and an interesting town to visit.
The Expandavan is nearing completion. We inspected it during the week and can't wait to take delivery in a few days. It's not much fun walking to the Shower these cold mornings.
Ebay watching has been a fun exercise. We were bidding on a fridge and got outbid at the very last minute. Needless to say, we are bidding on another and are the highest bidders at this stage with three  hours to go. We were successful bidding on a sofa and now have the Ebay bug.
