This was ian and chris' last full day with us in aus. Gaz was up bright and early to go fishing with his dad and chris popped down to join them. I stayed in bed and enjoyed a lie in which i dont get very often! Gaz and ian came back empty handed and gaz fell fast asleep. I went with ian and chris to the eagles nest in point vernon to check it out. the little baby sat snuggled in the nest and poked its little white head out the top whilst the parent perched next to the nest, keeping watch.
Gaz was up and about by the time we got home so ian drov eus over to Toogoom so we could grab a milkshake and enjoy the sunshine. Gaz ordered a quiche lorraine but the first....second....and third quiche delivered to our table all had salmon in. Gaz despises salmon and had to keep taking the food back to the counter, explaining it was the wrong quiche. In the end, it was established that there were no quiche lorraines in stock, instead they were all salmon so gaz settled for a sausage roll...bu was disappointed by the refried beans inside the sausage.
This afternoon i had a belated halloween party at one of the dental assitants (Jackie) house. It was a halloween fancy dress theme so i went as a pumpkin witch and face painted my face to look like a pumpkin (chris has a photograph of me on her blog). Jackies house was stunning. she lives in point vernon where her and her husband designed the house and it is very unique. Gaz very kindly dropped me off there and on the way we spotted 6 kangaroos grazing by the side of the road with a joey feeding from its mummy. so cute! The party was great fun, and lots of people from work turned up, everyone having made a great effort with the fancy dress outfits....infact i won first prize which i was shocked at because everyone had made such a great effort.
Gaz, chris and ian picked me up from the party and we headed to smoked pepper for food (me having washed my make up off first!). The food did not disappoint and we enjoyed an excellent selection of tapas. Afterwards we had a stroll down Urangan pier in the dark at high tide and watched some of the fisherman trying to catch fish. No one seemed to be catching anything! the weather today was very very warm and humid...we really need a big storm...preferabley NOT before/during my riding lesson tomorrow!
Gaz and i are not looking forward to tomorrow when chris and ian leave :( trying not to think too much about it tonight...it will be very sad.
I know how you feel, but we've got to leave so we can visit again. Ian x
