Tues, 1st September, 2015 Mum &Dad’s, Cairns


First day of Spring – so glad we are home to feel the warmth of it though hopefully Victoria is starting to warm up too!!

Mum and I went shopping for mattresses as the old ones we are sleeping on have had it. Checked out some at Amart then went around to Forty Winks. Heather, who years ago lived behind Mum & Dad is still working there so we had a great catchup chat with her and she gave Mum a good price on two new mattresses. I texted Dan to see what time he finished work so he could pick up the mattresses with me using Brian’s ute.

Dropped Mum home then I met Yanneke at the café at Earlville. Had a great time catching up on her news as she became a grandmother 20 days ago when her eldest Michelle had a little girl, Amelia. Just love that name. Her other daughter, Jacquelin is getting married next year. Business is booming for her and Terry which is good too.

Popped into Suncorp and Commonwealth Banks to check on finances etc. Saw Lisa, my line dancing teacher too which was nice to catch up with her.

Met Dan and we ordered another board for the bed base then went around to pick up the mattresses. Good timing as Mum was there paying for them. Dan will pick up the board tomorrow then take the old mattresses to the dump.

Met Kaylene for a walk along the Esplanade then back home for dinner.

Rang Steve and he is having fun though he is noticing the heat. It is cool overnight 18 degrees in the shed but it gets up to 34 in the shed during the day. They tend to detect till lunch then wait till 4ish to go out again. Not complaining about the heat though as we whinged for so long about the cold!! Charles is with him. He has 4 grams so far which is all he had found in Victoria.

Valerie arrived in her new Alfa Romeo to pick me up. Met up with Susan and Christine then at Cazalys for coffee and chat. Wonderful to hear of their news too with more grandchildren arriving etc. Put a few dollars in the pokies but didn’t have any big wins.

Off to sleep on my new mattress.
