We both woke early this morning. I was determined to take a nice long walk and Philip was having withdrawal symptoms from not being on his bicycle. It was a coolish morning with quite a bit of fog but no wind so it was very enjoyable. When we finally meet up again in the van we both said that we felt energised.
My sister, niece and her two children arrived at mums place around lunch time and we had pre-determined what we would both contribute for lunch. Rob brought cooked chook, Caesar salad and profiteroles and my contribution was ham, bread, fruit salad and ice-cream. It was a feast fit for a king. The kids were hungry when they arrived so we set out the lunch as soon as they arrived. Over lunch we chatted and caught up on all the news.
My niece had her car stolen earlier this week and as mum no longer uses her car, she has decided to sign it over to Jaime. It is a big relief all round. The thief (female) was very brazen. While my niece and her family were in the back yard the thief stole their car from the garage right beside them. They did try to stop her and also to chase her down but she was long gone. They live on the Gold Coast and it, like so many other places across Australia, has a youth problem that is out of control. It is unlikely that they will get their car back and if they do it will probably be torched.
The afternoon went all too fast as the family had to leave before 3pm to get back to their homes (Rob in Beaudesert and Jaime on the Gold Coast). But we did have time for a quick photo shoot.
