It\u2019s Thursday in Ocean Grove. It\u2019s 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\u2019s church friends. We learned sausages are called snags here for a reason I don\u2019t really want to know. Today we will figure out what we are up to for the rest of November.<\/p>\n
