Trip to Toowoomba


Went out to visit Bernie's parents at Toowoomba. Charlotte cooked us an awesome dinner of roulard and knodel and Dave came around to help eat it. Robert works with leather and gave us a gorgeous little leather box to collect Reg's teeth in! He's also got an impressive garden and gave me a number of seeds to start of some plants of my own. The trip was initially ment to be a camping trip but with 38 deg temperatures we eagerly took up the offer of staying in the air-con. Thanks for a great weekend Charlotte and Robert! On the way home we loaded a whole load of stuff onto the uterus to take back to the boys new place.

NYE

Matty took six of us out on his boat on the Brisbane River. Matty, Bernie, Katrina, Gibbo and us. Took our time cruising down the river from Fig Tree Pocket to Southbank drinking beers (soda for me) and eating cheese and dips. BBQ chicken sandwiches for dinner. Watched both sets of fireworks from the boat at Southbank. Was a very pleasant evening.

Bernie's Uterus

Bernie bought a new ute - much better than the last one but perhaps with a less flattering name! Andrew and Bernie spent two mornings polishing it up. Looks rather flash now. I spent the day in the air con doing a jigsaw puzzle.

Boxing Day 20/20 Cricket

Went to our first match of 2020 cricket - Qld vs NSW. Quite a different game to a test match. Was funny how they set off fireworks every time a 4 or a 6 was scored which was at least once an over. Was hard to know who to go for but the NSW team took the game by a margin of a couple of runs in the end. On the way home sat in my first allocated public transport seat! I think the pregnant lady needs bigger boobs in the picture!

Xmas Day Bushwalk

Andrew and I went for a bushwalk today. We needed to get out of the house and do some exercise. Turned into quite a mission - 13 km! We did the Somerset trail in Mt Mee State Forest which is a short drive from Dayboro. Certainly a good way to work up an appetite for Xmas dinner.
Xmas Dinner was tasty! Ham, bbq chickens, salad and of course a small glass of red. I made a massive trifle for dessert which we almost finished off on the night!
