Good times, good food.

We finalised the purchase of the storage shed in Port Douglas this week.  For us, this is the first step towards living there. It's going to take some time.....years in fact, but we are looking forward to this next part of our retirement. The storage shed is zoned industrial and is 88 sq metres.  We will rent it for 12 months and then look at where we are at.
Consequently we spent quite a bit of time in Port this week and visited one of our favourite restaurants - Cafe Fresq - twice.  This little restaurant never disappoints and is always packed with customers.....a testament to the food.  One day I had the zucchini and corn fritters and the next time I ordered the roast vegetable salad.  Both meals were outstanding and packed full of flavour.  I loved the basil oil drizzled over the roast vegetable salad and the addition of a spicy little salsa and whipped feta took the fritters to a new level.  If ever you are in Port Douglas I highly recommend this place.

On the home front I had leftovers from our lunch on Easter Sunday but nothing ever goes to waste in my household.  The Thai Beef Salad made a very tasty stir fry with the addition of chilli and sesame oil, the rib bones were reheated and eaten with the coleslaw, leftover coleslaw was bagged and frozen so that will be taken with us on our next camping adventure, and lastly the leftover potato bake was the perfect topping for a vegetable packed shepherds pie....

We have also had the drone out each afternoon as we need lots of practice before we head away on our next camping trip.  I can envisage lots of fantastic photos from above so it will be perfect when we go to Lawn Hills Gorge.  This is one of the photos that we took of "Kuramar" this week.

To end the week nicely we enjoyed a night at the Clink Theatre in Port Douglas to watch the production of the Full Monty.  We love this old Queenslander that has been converted to a  pint-sized theatre that only holds a maximum of 120 people.  The atmosphere is wonderful.  Full marks to the performers who played their parts with enthusiasm.  All the double entendres and one liners kept the audience laughing and I loved the athleticism of the little asian actor.  It really was a great show and if you live in this area you really should get yourself along to one of the shows.

Well that's a wrap for this week.  Stay safe and I will meet you here again next week.
