OLD FRIENDS, NEW FRIENDS, AND YOUNG FRIENDS.
Had a wonderful time in Brisbane even though the weather was a bit Melbourneish at times. Apart from some work commitments with Dh most of the time was spent walking, and talking and relaxing with my friends which now come in all shapes and sizes. I was very spoilt by dinner at Lindas home with her family. I felt very privileged to have such a special person invite me to her home and had a great time. On the Sat we even squeezed in a 2 1/2 hr walk which actually felt like only about an hour due to the large amount of talking I expect! Rounded this off with a healthy lunch at the shopping outlets and then of course a bit of shopping.
On the Sunday after a morning walk through a rainforest we went to Brisbane to stay with our old friend that used to work for us. One of the nicest things with this friend is that even though we now only see each other a few times a year we just pick up where we left off and can talk so easily. After 15 years working together we know each other very well which is very comforting. Some fine restaurant dining was arranged and I ordered grilled fish and salad. Not normal for me! Before my halo slips I must confess that this was motivated by the dessert menu which had a "Chocaholic dessert" I had to have. Imagine my horror after dutifuly eating my fish and going up to order the dessert to be told it was not available. Grilled fish for nothing!! On the drive back home somehow the driver was forced to stop and we bought violet crumbles to crush over our icecream.... For dinner we had to do penance and made a vegetable bake to try to compensate for our piggery.. On the way to the airport on my last day I went to visit Kellee and beautiful Toby. All I can say is that Kellee has a wonderful, loving and growing family and I wish I lived close enough to ofer my babysitting services. It was very considerate of Toby to arrive in time for me to see him in person. I have a photo but will wait till Kellee has time to put some up before I publish mine.
So yes I am also fortunate to have spent time with my special friends. Thanks Kellee and Linda and their families for making me feel so welcome.
