Catch up

I've definitely been in the holiday mood since we've been in Twin Waters, having done absolutely nothing that I haven't had to. Of course all  the mundane routines jobs:  tidying the flutters up, wiping the bathroom over, cooking the evening meal, (Steve was in charge of lunches, bless), washing and ironing, all got done and we even remembered to put the rubbish bins out for collection and, you all know how much I love gardening - don't,  we watered the plants!

Most of the time we have sat and talked, covering all sorts of subjects  putting the world to rights and discussing how we would spend the lottery money we are going to win one day - I can dream!

I've played games, read books and cokoured in my book. All the rage in the UK (and here it seems)- colouring books for adults so when Steve saw them in the newsagents he bought me one plus crayons for my birthday,. I thought the time would drag but it has passed surprisingly quickly. 

Steve collected the next hire car so we had two days to catch up on some sightseeing so we visited Maroochydore and Mooloolaba where we decided to join the kids in a swimming lesson. The surf was strong and the waves were big, it was impossible to stand up and we were being tossed around, like being in a washing machine. We had only been in the water about 10 minutes when the lifeguard called everybody in as it was becoming dangerous again. Although it was fun it was very tiring and I can see how easy it would be to be overcome by the waves especially if you weren't that confident in the water so I for one was quite glad the lifequard blew his whistle.
