Home is where the tea is



Yes I've been slack, haven't been really blogging at all. Haven't really read blogs, commented or blogged, but I have a good reason. I have been in Brisbane on a visit:) It was such great fun. For starters, I got the mug in the picture (yay, Rachem). On the Friday night I had a BBQ and it was lots of fun. We cooked lamb souvlaki and flat breads on the BBQ and had them with salad (the lamb and salad all rolled up in the flatbread thingy), we drank red wine, and we chatted and socialised. Then Muppit said I was allowed to have a go at the poi that you set alight. So I twirled fire around my head and only slightly singed my hair when I hit myself in the head with the on fire things.

Saturday I had breakfast with Matt's familly, had lunch with my sister, had my GP assessmenty thing (showed the lady how to turn her phone on silent without going through the menu - see I'm useful!). We then went to Matt's school reunion. That was okay, there were some nice people to talk to when you could hear what people were saying. If anyone's organising a school reunion - pubs aren't necessarily the best environment - the music was so loud that you couldn't hear what anyone less then 30cm away from you was saying.

Sunday I hung out with my mum and Matt helped his sister fix the chicken shed. She has baby chickens that were going to be culled for being substandard that she rescued from one of her vet pracs.

Monday I went and saw the cutest little bub around - munchkin:


I then visited my nephew's and niece's - they have two cute little baby guinea pigs, a boy and a girl. I tried to take a photo of them with my phone for those who like guinea pigs:

The boy one (the one with black on him) basically is white on one side down his back, and black on the other, in a perfect even split. He is very cute. My 3 year old nephew delighted in showing me how the girl guinea pig tries to bite the boy one if you bring her close - this resulted in my finger getting bitten as it was in the way.

Had a yummy seafood platter at the Roman Empire, one of the best places to have dinner in brisbane (especially on a monday as it's two for one night, although that doesn't include the seafood platter and you do need to book) with Matt's family.

Tuesday I relaxed and then went home.
There were many other things in the trip, but I think those are the main things... I will do a better post when I'm not so rushed and tired.

Welcome back! I'm glad you had a fun-filled Brisbane trip, and hope that you now have some time off work to recover. I'm very envious. Family, friends, babies, chickens, nice food - remind me again why we're on the other side of the world?

PS I want one of those mugs!

"Tuesday I relaxed and then went home."
Making it sound like home might not be relaxing. :-)

You knew there were evil bloggers lurking out here, just waiting for you to stroll through the blog-o-sphere so they could pounce! Aha!



Glad you had a good trip.
