Sun, 27th Oct, 2019 Mum & Dad’s place, Cairns, Qld



Cloudy – lovely temperature. I was expecting it to be quite humid but it has been great.

Got a text from Steve as he doesn’t have enough signal for a phone call. Doing ok. Mickey had texted him so I rang her to check on what she wanted. She just wanted to tell Steve about Scott McLaughlin’s huge crash in qualifying in the Supercars at the Gold Coast this morning. She has Foxtel where as we only have it on Channel 10 so our broadcast doesn’t start til 11am so will have a look at today’s later. I had taped yesterday’s broadcast so turned it on while I had breakfast.   

Took Mum for a drive along the Esplanade to check out the new buildings etc. Should have brought my camera. Dad gets confused about where he is but when you show him something from the past he has great stories about it. Mum is getting weaker with her heart so we didn’t get out for a walk, just cruised about.

Had lunch and watched the qualifying session of the Supercars that I taped. Saw Scotty’s huge crash – luckily he wasn’t seriously hurt.

Drove over to Brian’s to watch the main Supercars race with him and Ian. Triple 8 won.

Cooked dinner. Daniel and Fran arrived and Greg so we all had a great time chatting. Rang Jon to see if he was coming as he had been playing golf in a Pennant’s competition in Innisfail. Jess’ friend had an emergency so Jon got a lift with someone else as he had few drinks on the bus back from Innisfail. Will catch up with Jess later in the week. We had a great night chatting. So great to see our boys again. They are looking forward to having Dad back in Cairns for a while next year.
