Evan took Kermit to Bribie Island and nearly go stuck however it all worked out ok and he will think twice about going fishing at the northern end of Bribie Island on a weekday - he never saw another car and it was well and truly dark when Kermit refused to start. However all worked out well and he came home exhausted and tired.

 

Phil Brunskill, John's friend from school, came and stayed a weekend and paid us by cooking the most magnificent Indian meal - he's welcome to stay anytime.  His cousin John also came for dinner and we had a nice night. Phil & I went to Redcliffe for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday - I took my bike on Sunday and found out that it was too packed to ride at Redcliffe as every other person in Brisbane was there also.

 

I went to Sydney to say goodbye to Cheryl and Ron who are going to live in Arabia - sounds much nicer than United Arab Emirates. Ron has a job there and Cheryl is taking some time before looking for one. Stopped at Deb Hongs for a night, then on to Cheryls at Gosford, which is really Mike and Bec Stalenbergs as Cheryl and Ron moved out 12 months or so ago when they went to Vanuatu to live. Went on to Sydney Airport on Friday to see Cheryl and Ron off and then met up with mum and went to the pictures at Broadway (old Grace Bros store) and saw "La Vie en Rose" - it was wonderful - even subtitled in French. Dropped in to visit Sue and Alan in St Clair on Saturday who drove me to the airport.

 

Back to Brissie on Saturday and  on Sunday did a run to the Ekka with 100 or so barrels of fairy floss - even scored a bag for myself, Evan and Carly. Johns aunt Sis and her friend Julie were slaving away making floss and I sat amongst it all taking photos and getting covered in floss. Was good fun.

 

Back to work tomorrow.
