This week has been full-on as it always is when we get home after being away for a while. We did take Monday off to recuperate from jetlag - even though we do get to sleep up front in the airplane, we still find that it takes a few days to get back on track.
Starting on Tuesday, though, it was 'hit the ground running' time. We had to drive to Bundaberg on Tuesday to have the Jayco people do their three month inspection on our camping trailer. We have only used it once, but we had noticed a couple of things which needed repairing and the mechanics found one more thing to fix, so it was a worthwhile trip. We were hoping to spend a couple of days camping up near there in a place called Bargara which is a cute place on the coast, but the night temperatures were a bit too cool for us without some kind of heating, so we decided to give it a miss this time. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we will have some time to do some camping when we get back from Perth in five weeks. We did go to Bargara for the day and enjoyed lunch there and lovely walk along the beach.

The rest of this week has been filled with pampering myself (a massage and a facial), catching up with friends (Maureen, Robyn and Haidi (all from church) and Luise (a teacher friend) and appointments (chiropractor and optometrist).

My first iced chocolate after returning from Canada (oh, how I have missed you 😁)
The view from the restaurant, the 'Homemade Cafe', where Robyn and I had lunch

Me with my yummy lunch (quiche, chips and salad) and my iced chocolate
I forgot to take a pic of me and Haidi at 'The Coffee Club' where I had ANOTHER iced chocolate and my phone had died when I tried to take a pic of me and Luise at 'Happy Days' with another iced chocolate (do you see a pattern here
While I was out socializing with my friends, Dad spent his time relaxing at home - well most of the time - playing his racing game on the ipad and watching episodes of 'Star Trek'.
This following week doesn't look any less busy - it will be nice to get to Perth for a break.
