In January I posted already some pictures of Peter’s walk and run on the oval. Two weeks later he did do the same again. For some reason I did not feel like going along with him then and gave it a miss. But when he went again yesterday I gave myself a push an went along with him. And I quite enjoyed the outing. However yesterday I did not take any pictures. So all the pictures I post today I took already in January.
Yesterday I put my toe shoes for a leisurely walk around the oval. After my walk  I did a bit of reading in my kindle while I was waiting for Peter to finish his run/walk. Peter also had his toe shoes on. He loves to wear them on grass. As far as concerns all the signs on the pictures, I must point out that the danger of this summer’s fire season seams to be nearly over. It is nearly March now, meaning that it is not very likely that we get very hot days again. In January I wrote to one of the comments:
“It is a huge sporting complex, Robert. I did not explore all the areas. What I found remarkable is that they pointed out what to do in case of a bushfire. I guess the wooded areas have become more dense and there is more fuel now so that a fire has become more of a possibility since we seem to be getting more and more very hot days with very strong winds.”
As I said from now on there is probably not that great a danger any more. Our summer is nearly over. Apparently the bushfire emergency area is on field which is the John O’Dwyer Oval, the one where Peter does his training.
I did yesterday a bit of practising again, I mean I drove our car for a short distance in the Croome Sporting Complex area before we left to drive home. I just want to get used to driving again. Since I had this eye operation a long, long time ago I always was happy to leave it up to Peter to do the driving. So I must say I am shockingly out of practice. And I am nearly 80 now. I still have my drivers’ license though. I am asking myself again and again, should I really aim at keeping the license a bit longer?
Peter is going to have his eye operation in a couple of weeks!

I really enjoy looking at these signs. They give me a feeling for the culture
Speaking of the signs, Robert, when you visit the area these signs are not very prominent at all, for it is such a huge complex. Whenever we go there, we usually notice some trucks of council workers who look after the whole complex on a regular basis. Think how valuable this land must be and how much the upkeep of it must cost the council! I bet some developers would like to get their hands on some of the land. I hope it is going to be preserved for all the different sporting functions and for the free use of schools, sporting teams and the public.
The sporting culture is very valued in Australia. I also find it remarkable that some of the dense bush areas are set aside for preservation. In our district bush fires have not been a huge problem so far. However all over the place, I mean in our whole coastal district. people are urged to be in the know what to do in case of bush fires. Especially on a very hot, very windy day they can spread so very ferociously and quickly.
Thanks, Robert for commenting once more on the signs. 🙂
Great to see you are both out and active.
The bushfire signs really demonstrate that bushfires in your area are a real hazard.
Our bushfire season seems to be winding down now, we did have an arsonist lighting a few fires around Mildura here.
Wishing you both well and all success to Peter for his eye op.
Regards
Ian
I must admit, Ian, I had to give myself a push to go out with Peter on that day. Sometimes I just feel some kind of laziness getting hold of me. But I was happy that I made this decision to go out and enjoy this beautiful place. Such a peaceful environment and clean, fresh air. Too good to give it a miss. 🙂
Cheerio, Auntyuta
