Thanks For The Vouchers

My favorite gift to receive at Christmas time is the everyday gift voucher. There are two reasons why I like them, one they are easy to carry home especially when we fly, and secondly I can combine them to buy something I have been thinking about buying but can't really justify spending that amount of cash.

The photo shows the gazebo we picked up yesterday from Bunnings to give us more shade around the pool. As you can see it 'fits' the spot really well. My brother Geoff and his wife Jeanette found it a pleasant place to sit to read their books and keep up with the cricket playing on the radio in the background.

A big thank you for the vouchers! (Trish is using the vouchers for everyday things which freed up some cash to purchase the gazebo.) Click on the photos for a larger view. Then click on the "X" to return to this page.

Needless to say with Geoff visiting my home brew stocks are diminishing so a brew went on recently and this morning was a bottle washing day. They should be ready to put away after drying later today.

Last night we had Fish 'n Chips by the beach and then adjourned to the RSL for a draught ale. It was all extremely pleasant after the ladies had earlier in the day walked the Caloundra 'shopping strip'.

On Tuesday we drove 160k's north to catch up with my cousin Garry and his wife Maree. We had a great time together as Garry's place is around 15k's off the main road and over 40k's from the nearest major town. It was a great day in the Queensland bush countryside.
