Theodore (Sunday)

My morning view

What a gorgeous start to the day!! I woke up at sunrise (these qld houses don't always have curtains) to about twenty cows outside my window. Since the sun was up, I got up to go have a look at it... It is surprisingly cold up here for QLD. Bill, who's birthday it was today, cooked us all a fry up for breakfast, eggs, bacon and potato chips. In fairness, he had forgotten it was his birthday too! After breakfast, I headed into Theodore to see Scotty, who has been crook. I also hit up the hospital (ok, I asked nicely) for the use of their shower, since Bill and Kathy's shower isn't very accessible. And due to my overestimation of Theodores facilities (a pharmacy) they gave me some dressings for my feet since I was onto my last lot.

Sunrise

Scotty and I went for a walk through town, (still looks the same) down to the caravan park. My mums cousin Audrey and her husband Eddie come up here most years for a few months, and I knew they were up now, so we went to see them. (When we did our 2006 trip, mum used to wander the caravan park looking for Tassie number plates. One day she went to introduce herself to this Tasmanian couple only to find not only did she know them, they were related! For those of you who think all Tasmanians are related. We are not!) So we all had a lovely day chatting and catching up on family gossip. I reckon we ate almost a whole loaf of fruit loaf, with real butter, for lunch. The caravan park is right beside the river, so it was a lovely place to spend a few hours in the sun.

Some of Bills cows

I got Bill some chocolate for his birthday, which I gave him just before tea. I didn't realise he would crack it open than and there! Don't worry, I still ate my tea. I even got most of the way through the chocolate pudding afterwards... 
Mum and Dad headed off on their Canada trip today, a holiday 25 years in the making! So they had better make the most of it... I'm so excited for them! 
Well I'm not used to being up quite as early as today, so I'm going to hit the hay!
