It's been a busy week at home as it always is when we get home from being away.  It was full of appointments: chiro, facial, haircut for Dad and to the doctor (script renewal for Dad and getting an x-ray for me to check to see if I have a chest infection because my dry cough is still annoying me).  I also started up with my Aquafit and Tai Chi classes again.

Dad and I were out shopping on Monday and decided to stop in at the Coffee Club - I had tried their mini pavlova and really wanted Dad to try them.  The deal included a drink and so we both got an iced chocolate along with the pavlova - so so yummy!

On Wednesday, we took Robyn out for lunch to the Boat Club Cafe.  Robyn always collects our mail and parcels, but this time she went above and beyond having to drive to Maryborogh (30 minutes from HB) to get a package for Dad.  I always take her out for lunch when we get back to say thanks for picking up our mail, etc., but this time I told Dad that we should both take Robyn out and take her somewhere a little nicer for her going the extra mile.  The meals were all yummy and it was a wonderful day to sit out by the water to enjoy our food (and iced chocolates).

On Friday, Dad and I went out to Hogsbreath Cafe for lunch.  While we were in Perth, Garth (the instructor from QAC who was with us in Perth) gave us a gift certificate for Hogsbreath, but we didn't get a chance to use it there, so we decided to use it Friday for a delicious meal - they had a special on: appetizer, main meal, and dessert for $30. - that left some money over for some nice drinks.  

 Cheers to Garth - we toasted Garth at Hogsbreath

Our dessert - a very yummy Rocky Road sundae

I took Dad to the airport on yesterday morning to send him off to Melbourne - he will be teaching there for a week - I will pick him up next Saturday and then we will head to Brisbane on Sunday.  After I dropped him off, I met up with my friend, Luise for afternoon tea.  Another iced chocolate and a lovely catch-up with a good friend.
