Day 243

28 August 2017 –
Bonogin – Robina
I was awake at 6.30am and happy to read as Paul continued to
snooze, probably still sleeping off the beers he had yesterday. I heard Kirtsy
leave at 8am and it was shortly after that I managed to drag myself out, with
Paul not far behind me. We sat about eating breakfast as I tried to load things
on the net, but it wasn’t happening.
We had an overflowing toilet, so our first priority was to
get that out and into the car. We sorted out a shopping list and made our way
to the nearest place in Mudgeeraba to empty the toilet contents and when it was
complete we made our way to Robina Town Centre.
We found a park at the massive shopping centre and then
began our wander of the malls. We knew what we were after, but with no idea of
direction it was a bit of a treasure hunt for the required stores, much to
Paul’s disdain, I however just enjoyed wandering and checking out what stores
they had on offer.
It didn’t take us long to find everything that we needed and
we began the trip back to then van. Once in, I unpacked the things we had
bought and then set about sorting out my hard drives, one had died, so I needed
to transfer everything to the new drive, a long process.
I phoned Mum to see how she was getting on back home. Sounds
like she and the dog are both happy the weather has improved and they can get
outside. She let me know Dad is traveling ok and will be in the UK for
Wednesday.
When I finished getting the gossip, I came in and made my
lunch. John stopped by inviting us to their place for a cuppa this afternoon. We
stopped in with Scott to annoy him and ensure he was out of bed, he wasn’t. We
then all sat together outside briefly chatting before I figure we should head
out for a walk rather than spending the beautiful day sitting around.
We opted to walk up Bonogin Road to the small café, about
2km and then walk back. Instead of returning to the house via the road, we
walked up the street and down through Kirsty’s parents property, stopping to
say hi to Anthony before returning to the van.
We did a quick change before returning up top for afternoon
tea. Nancy and John put on a lovely spread of cake and cheese and crackers that
we ate as we drank our tea and chatted. Scott joined us briefly then beat a
hasty exit. Anthony also joined us and we spent the next 2 hours sharing
stories.
By the time 5.30pm came about it was time to head back to
the van, dress in some warmer clothes and get the salad prepared. We then
joined Kirsty and Scott out the back to have our dinner and continue to chat.
For a change 8.30pm came about and we called it a night,
happy to retreat to our van. I continued working on the photos and blog while
Paul made his escape to bed.
