Just Returned From Brisbane Airport

It is a spectacular day again and has been for the three days we had Russell and Irene with us.  If I didn't need to do a bottling before, I certainly need to do one now.

They arrived before lunch Monday with Irene's sister and her husband.  We all headed to the local Tavern for lunch and the first of many many drinks!  The food was very good, the beer cold and the company outstanding.  The relations departed mid afternoon and the four of us settled down to catch up on old times.

Trish had garlic prawns for tea which were a great success.  The special chilli oil I get from Springvale when we are down in Melbourne received high acclaim as well.  We all slept well.

There is a restaurant in the hinterland around 20 minutes away that we tried out for lunch.  This is the view from where we were sitting.  The food was great and generous servings as well. 

With a view like this it just had to be good.

Russ has his foot in a "moon boot" following an operation he has had recently.  The healing process had been delayed and didn't go as smoothly as expected.  He had expected to be rid of it by now but the complications delayed the healing process.

We had a quiet sit by the beach before we returned home for more drinks and nibbles.  The music went on with plenty of oldies from 60's playing.  It was great.  Trish makes exceptional Fried Rice and when mixed with the "Springvale chilli" is to die for.

We had too much to drink but it was all great fun.  The flew out of Brisbane this morning for a week or so in Cairns.  Russ collected the Media Player and hard disk drive filled with Movies, TV Series and music which I had prepared for him.

It was all great fun and extremely enjoyable.  I think we will all sleep well tonight.

Trish has Bus Day Out for the ladies at Quilters today so left over Fried Rice will do us for tea!
