Sunday 12 October - Our First Day Back Home from Townsville








































The skies have been almost cloud free and the sun shining brightly ALL day!! Just what we've been used to in the great city of Townsville. However, the weather forecasts tell us it's not going to be like this for much longer - It's supposed to be only 16 degrees tomorrow (Monday) with mountain snow in the evening - GREAT !!

We drove down to Big W this morning to print out some of our holiday photos and then we drove out to Angela and Matthew Gasparin's to give them some $$ that Angela kindly took to Ogilvie High School so that Fuzz can go to the Leaver's Dinner next week and to also give Kalinda some photos that I took of her when we went to Magnetic Island on their Rest Day (1 October).

After paying them a visit, we went to see Lisa and Darren, Bec, Laura and Nikki. Chels had been busting at the seams to see them and Nikki was waiting on their front lawn for us when we arrived - there were cuddles all round!!

The boys drove down to Claremont Village and got some meat and salads for a BBQ lunch while Lisa and I finished off a bottle of Brown Brothers - Cienna (Yum). Lisa and the girls checked out the photos I printed and then I showed Lis the rest of our pics on my laptop - Yep, I took it with me!!

We started playing Euka late in the afternoon (actually it was almost tea time) and we ordered Pizzas for tea (Lisa and I drove down to Poppa Ducks to pick them up at 8.00pm). Lisa (Boxall) and Ian played the best Euka they've ever played to beat Darren and I 3 gaves to nil tonight. There were high 5's and "woohoo's" like we've never seen from them before and as you can see from the photo I've posted, they even managed a Euka or two !!

Darren and Ian finished off the night with a blast of Black Betty on Sing Star. Ian was leading on points the whole song then Darren came up right at the end and beat him!!! I've recorded a video of the last verse of the song (the video clip I've posted tells the whole story!!)

It's good to be home when you can spend time with great friends.

Cheers
Lisa xx
