We are home - yay!  Perth was cold and it's great to be back in the warmth of Hervey Bay - we are back in our shorts, t-shirts and sandals and it feels great!!! 😄

Dad finished up his course on Friday and everyone passed!  He is tired out, though, and is happy to be able to have some time off for a bit.  He hasn't heard when his next course will be yet, so we are a bit up in the air with regards to that.  It would be nice to know what's happening next so that we can make plans, so hopefully, Dad will get a call this week.

My cold is still holding on and I am quite annoyed about that - I don't do sick well.  But, I didn't let it hold me back too much.  I couldn't go to the gym for the first two days this week as I just didn't have the energy.  Dawn and I did walk to the mall on Tuesday as I really needed to get out of the house after resting for three days.  It was nice to get out in the fresh air and also to go out for lunch.  I did go to my Body Balance class on Wednesday, but by the time I did that, I had no energy for anything else, so didn't go to the gym or to the Aquafit class that evening.  Dawn and I went into Perth a couple of days this week for what she calls 'Retail Therapy'. 😂 She said that I didn't do too well the first day, but I passed the second day (barely).  I actually spent $20. on a new purse.  I wanted a beige one that could be used with a variety of outfits and this one was really nice.  Dawn loves to shop and even though I am not fussed on it, it's nice to hang out with her and I enjoy having 'morning tea' (iced chocolate) and eating out for lunch, too.

It is school holidays here, so we weren't able to fly back to HB yesterday (which we prefer to do) as the flights were full from Brisbane to Hervey Bay.  So, we flew in today and arrived at 9:15pm.  We are weary from the long flight, but happy to be home and be able to sleep in our own bed tonight.
