On Tuesday, Robyn and I went out for lunch to 'Hogsbreath Cafe' to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant sends a coupon for a free dinner when it's your birthday. I ordered prime rib with a jacket potato and salad. Last time we had that, it wasn't great, but I decided to try it again. They must have hired a new cook cuz it was amazing - so delicious - I mmmmmmed throughout the whole meal. :-)
On Wednesday, I met up with my friend, Denise, and we went to visit with a woman in our ward who we used to visit teach. Ashnita and her husband have three girls aged 8, 7 and 1 and I had not yet met the one year old. Their second daughter has autism and it's quite severe in relation to her behaviour. So, Ashnita rarely gets out and loves to have people visit her. We had a really nice visit and it was good to be able to meet her little girl.
On Thursday, I met up again with Haidi at the 'Coffee Club' - she told me earlier this week that I had corrupted her (re: iced chocolates) and so we just HAD to get another one this week. :-) I couldn't argue with that, could I?
On Friday, I picked up Robyn and we drove to Maryborough (half an hour from HB) to go to our friends' house for lunch and a swim. Dan and Lyn live in a house by the Mary River - the view out the back of their place is really beautiful. They had made us a delicious lunch of salads (one of my favourites) and afterwards we went for a swim in their little pool which is in the front yard. They have grown plants around the pool so that you can't see those in the pool from the street. It was great being in the pool and yakking for a couple of hours.
Dad's week went well and he's glad that he only has a week left - the guys are doing well on the course for the most part, but Dad is getting tired of not being able to go out of the hotel other than to work. He did walk out into the compound this week and sent me some pictures so that I can add them to the blog this week.
