On Thursday, I met up with Dad's boss's wife, Dawn, at our usual place - Chermside Mall - The Coffee Club - yes, for another iced chocolate! Dawn likes to shop, so after our morning tea, we walked around and nosed in some of the shops. After lunch, we did the same. It was as nice as it always is to get together with her and spend some time hanging out. She said that next time we are in Brisbane, she and Harry will have us over for dinner which is something to look forward to.

That evening, Dad and I went out with my Aunt Beth and her partner, Neil. Aunt Beth doesn't like any of the restaurants which are close to where she lives, so I suggested we just get take-away and sit by the beach. We met at their place and, after a bit of a chat, we headed to the take-away. By this time, it was dark and so, instead of taking our food to the beach, we stayed at the cafe and enjoyed the sound of the waves. We really enjoyed getting together with Aunt Beth and Neil - they are so much fun to talk with and we had a really lovely time with them.
Yesterday, after cleaning the house where we were staying in Brisbane, and packing up, we headed home. It felt so good when we arrived! We are only home for three days before we head off again and our days are full already, but it is always good to be in our own place, if only for a bit. We will fly down to Sydney on Wednesday and sail out on the ship, the Norwegian Jewel, on Thursday for our trip to New Zealand and back. We are both really looking forward to some rest, relaxation and being taken care of.
