Mile or Mill Stone?

It passed unnoticed....but the other day.....'Stepford' to be precise, was the 500 th post on this blog!I don't hear a fanfare......just someone blowing a raspberry!

Festive City.

After another hot day of doing very little we decided, as we nearly fell asleep head first into our boiled mince, to go out for an evening walk to the city to see the Christmas lights and the light show at City Hall....

Here comes another one!

We didn't get much rain but the wind kindly removed the two blinds we put back after the last storm.Marvellous!

More Festive Dwellings.

So.....there is a competition here for the best festive decorated house which people can enter. Tonight we all went for a short drive around, after our lamb chop, to look at some of them. There is a map showing all the locations of the houses in the competition. There were quite a few people doing the same thing and people who do travel around to see the houses are invited to vote for the one they like best. Here are a few we saw tonight......

We hadn't really decided where we were going for our walk today even as Cecilia made the dining chair grumble under her weight.In the car, Will decided on Springfield Lakes and we set the satnav to take us there.Springfield, also known as the Greater Springfield Development, is a 28.50 square kilometre master planned community incorporating several suburb located in South East Queensland, Australia. Springfield is a satellite city that was specifically designed and located to reduce population growth along the coastal strip from The Sunshine Coast down to the Gold Coast. It is also the name of the first suburb developed in the master plan. (Wikipedia)We found a Lakeside walk to follow.
