Tuesday I was home alone as Ollie was in hospital and trish and jack were working. After a failed attempt to get back to mount ommeney ( waited over an hour for a bus that never came) I spent the morning in the garden reading and then managed to finally get on a bus in the pm. Did a bit of shopping and got registered with Medicare and Telstra the, apparently, best coverage network. Made it home successfully and took Sam out for a walk where we got a bit lost despite having a map. It meant we had had a nice 1 hour walk by the time we made it home so I felt I deserved a nice big dinner with several glasses of Margaret River wine. Jet lag hit and I was in bed by 9.
Wednesday was mostly spent sunning myself in the garden and trying to ensure I was helpful to Ollie after his op. Another early night due to jet lag.
Was up horribly early (6:30 am) today so headed into the city centre for an explore. Had some brunch at the first place I found which ironically turned out to be an English pub, still the eggs Benedict were good ( egg yolks were bright orangey yellow) and then walked up an down Queen street to do a bit of shopping. Jumped on a ferry and spent a lovely hour going up and down the river admiring the jacaranda trees which are in full bloom at the moment. Got off at the south bank and walked along to the gallery of modern art for a look at some modern aborigine work which was pretty cool, especially a fascinator made of emu feathers traditional weaving and an emu bone.
Enjoying a glass of wine by the river before I get the train to indroopilly to look round the shops there then back to Carlyle Road for a sit down and foot rest.
