Home On The Sunshine Coast

Tuesday was spent doing last minute bits and pieces before Kate took us over to Chris and Wendy's home for an evening meal and for us to spend the night. Our other daughter Kim was there too. We had a good time all together.

We were travelling with a budget airline "Tiger Airways" and we were due to take off at 8:10 am. We had to check in 45 minutes before take-off. After a short detour to a local newsagent. we arrived at the airport at about 7:10 am to be met by quite a lengthy queue. Trish had a chat with the lady in front of us who in the queue who was going to Adelaide. It seemed we would probably make it OK before 7:25. There was then an announcement saying Sunshine Coast passengers could move to the "Express Check-in" for speedier service. There were two passengers in front of us. Both were overweight with their luggage and had to pay extra. One lady was feverishly repacking clothing from one bag to another. The other lady had an over-sized article and had to pay extra and have special labeling for it.

Eventually we got through and made our way to the waiting area. As we lined up to pass through Security we saw that the lady who was going to Adelaide was about 15 people in front of us!

We were back home about 11:30 am. The rest of the day was spent getting sorted out with washing to be done while I had computers to update!

We both slept quite well last night.

I enjoyed my 10k bike ride this morning while Trish went to a volunteer's breakfast!

The pool has been vacuumed, the pool filter has been cleaned, some palm fronds have been tidied up and incidental weeding has been completed! I will sleep well again tonight!
