Back To Normal Again

Tuesday saw our visitors and ourselves spend a very pleasant time doing a couple of 'tourist' must dos here on the Sunshine Coast. Lunch was spent at the Buderim Tavern which sits above the Sunshine Coast and offers views across to Mooloolaba and Caloundra. From there we tripped to Mooloolaba with its magnificent beach and very comfortable "Surf Club". Then it was back home to ready for a night at Thai Lime twist, our local tasty and inexpensive Thai Restaurant.

We were joined by a couple of our friends from here and all 8 of us had a great time. The meal was excellent. Afterwards we adjourned to the Caloundra RSL Club where both Eddie and Patsy made 'donations' via the poker machines.

Eddie and Patsy were heading back to the Gold Coast on Wednesday so we decided to break the trip at Sunnybank, a suburb to the south of Brisbane with a large Asian population. We enjoyed some Malaysian noodles for our lunch and needless to say 'over ate'!

We dropped Eddie and Patsy off at the Gold Coast and then began our drive home. Being a little later than we hoped we were caught in some peak hour traffic near Brisbane. It held us up for about 15 minutes. Within a half hour of home the traffic again came to a halt. We were lucky because there was a road off to the left. This made our trip home even longer! On the news we heard there had been a roll-over and traffic on the main highway had been blocked for an hour or so. We did well to get off and then be able to drive around the accident.

Today was bottle washing day and I was hard at it by 7 am. Then Trish went to see the eye doctor again and learnt there had been a relapse and her vision had again worsened in her operated eye. The doctor wasn't surprised and said it can take several weeks for all to settle down. If all goes well Trish will be able to get new glasses in about 6 weeks time.
