Wed Mar 9- Wed Mar 16 2016- hanging out and golf


Wednesday March 9 - Saturday March 12
Just a veg period. Weather began to turn bad, temperature dropped from mid twenty’s to 16 and the rains finally arrived, and it satyed for three days.  Did some basic stuff, water softener, roof seal, laundry etc Also binged on the last season of  Downton Abbey. Time also to update the blog and get some admin work done. We ordered a new camera to replace the one that disappeared in San Antonio. Got the same model so our extra batteries work with it.  (Amazon)  It arrived on Saturday. Went for dinner to Castroville CafĂ© on Friday. What a fabulous little restaurant.  Great steak for Derek and a huge fresh flounder for Janice. the bread with green Pesto/olive oil bread dipping was fantastic... couldn't resist taking a carrot cake home to savour later.
Did some grocery shopping on the weekend and cleaned the rig. The park filled up quite a bit over the weekend as March break begins. 
Sunday  - March 13 - Golf
Our first game of golf at the Alsatian Golf course .. we have been longing to play as we look out over the 13th tee from the RV resort pool. The course did not disappoint and we had a great game in beautiful sunny warm weather. In fact it was one of Janice's best games ever... one of those games that just keep you coming back. After the game we relaxed with a cold beer and BBQ'd some pork tenderloin. Humid overnight making sleep difficult.
Monday March 14
A day to enjoy the sun. We lazed by the pool, had a swim and Janice had a rather large Margarita, which came served with a mini bottle of gold tequila upturned in it... after they had already poured in a good measure at the bar... All this while Derek enjoyed his $2 draft... well not really (bud light).. he decided the switch to the $4 Shiner Bock... now that's better!! 
Tuesday March 15
Wow a misty sticky morning. Warm fog !
Went into SA and got the police report and filled out the RBC insurance claim for the camera. Having got a copy of the invoices etc from Duncan and Wright. What a beautiful day with a vivid sunset. 
Wednesday March 16 - Golf
Had another golfing day. Perfect weather. Game wasn't as good (score-wise), but the enjoyment factor was still way up there. We are booking through GolfNow and are paying only $20-$25 a round including the cart for a full 18 hole game. Janice lost a few balls this time but Derek go the record for losing three into water on one hole!!! He didn't think Janice's imitation of the breaststroke after the last splasher was quite as hilarious as she did.  We 'found' a few extra balls in the long grass along the way, so all was not lost as they say!   We had a good laugh. Pain killers are helping Janice get through the days, but it is concerning how quickly her back is deteriorating and how she now needs pain killers every day. But 'it is what it is' and she is dealing with it in in her own way.
