It Is Time To Go

As many of you know we have been entertaining one of our very good friends "Rainy" from Melbourne all this week. On Thursday the ladies had considered they would travel into Brisbane for the day. However after a hectic week they decided to spend a leisurely day around the pool. The weather had turned on its Queensland's best and was lovely and warm. Reading and swimming were the order of the day.

On Thursday evening Trish and Rainy headed off to "Trivia", they were delighted when the won the night's competition.

So Friday was to be the day into Brisbane. The weather was even warmer getting to 30 degrees so again plans were 'reorganised'. Lunch was meant to be spent in Buderim at the Buderim Tavern. The lunch didn't eventuate but a drink or two did. However we enjoyed our "Beefy's" pies in a small park nearby. By the time we had gotten around to ordering lunch at the Tavern we were told there would be a 60 minute wait!

Back to house about mid afternoon meant there was time for a swim and a "Nanna Nap". Then at about 6 pm it was down the street for fish n' chips to eat beside the beach! It was extremely pleasant. Upon our arrival back at the house yet another swim was in order as this photo shows.

The day ended with a Nicole Kidman movie called "Rabbit Hole". The movie though enjoyable was a bit slow for us.

Today Rainy returns to Melbourne when her flight leaves early this evening. The girls have a shopping afternoon planned as they make their way to the Maroochydore Airport. Rainy is due back at her home in Drouin about 11 pm tonight!

Today the weather is due to return to being "wet" with rain and possible storms forecast for this afternoon. At least the warm weather the last couple of days has allowed me to get a couple of bike rides in. Yesterday I did a 15k+ bike ride!
