Time flies way too quickly. I can just see these three months zipping by really fast. We stopped in Brisbane yesterday and had a lovely lunch with Kate (Paul’s daughter) and then drove on to Manly to pick up mail Didn’t stop to say hello to anyone as we were running late to get to Tamborine. When we finally got there, Donna just had time to show Paul the garden and get a tour of the house in before the sunset. There have been many changes to the house since I was last there and it is so good to see Tony and Donna’s retirement plan come together so beautifully.
We got up at 5:30am (cheez – I thought we were on holiday Paul) and hit the road at 6:30 driving down the mountain, through Beaudesert, Boonah – via the Cunningham’s gap, Warwick, Inglewood and then the heavens opened (coz I started driving) and Paul had to take over driving. Was a little bit scared at how heavy the rain was. There is so much water lying around and every creek we passed was full or flooded. Talked Alex through the wash out drill incase a wall of water washed the car off the road. He started taking his seat belt off thinking it was for real! Paul had to explain the similarities to an aircraft drill on the plane and then he GOT IT!
It was very wet all the way to Goondiwindi (Gundy for short) where we stopped for lunch. As soon as we crossed over to NSW, the weather cleared up and it has been lovely and even warm.
Tomorrow is Paul’s birthday. He already got his pressie in Dubai – so nothing for him to open. I bought his some blueberries and I am going to try making pancakes in the morning. Hopefully the eggs are OK.
