Into the spider zone!

So...we have returned to Frogknot. Anne is spending her first night of bush life for this trip. We shall see if she survives a night alone in the old house.

Anne's First Day - A wander in Brisbane.

 

Happy Birthday to me!

So...another year on Earth has passed for me. We left the Gold Coast this morning and headed up to Brisbane to find that Syd's Pie and British Food Shop was closed on Sundays. We visited IKEA next for a few more Blue Moon items, the last of the insulated blinds we need for the windows and some new crockery. We then drove to our accomodation in Brisbane for the next two nights, a very nice two bedroomed apartment on South Bank. It is definitely a step up from the Palm Beach Hotel we were in on the Gold Coast. This afternoon we went to see the film of the moment, 'Avengers: Endgame'. It was over three hours long but it didn't feel that long at all. We picked up a Chinese takeaway for dinner and took it back to our apartment before heading off to the airport at midnight to collect our special guest for the next month...Yes, Anne's back!

Verdi's Requiem

So...this weekend we have come down to the Gold Coast and tonight we saw Verdi's Requiem at HOTA (Home of the Arts). It was in the open air theatre under the stars and was quite spectacular with its accompanying pyrotechnics. Here are some pictures of our weekend...

 

It's a sign!

So...stop distracting them with flashing signs then!
