Still recovering from the Christmas festivities, and taking time out.
Cuddling with Fletcher, laughing it up with Tamie and Daniel, and practicing some photography.
Watching Daniel finish his first techni-lego creation.
Trying to fit everything back into our bags for the flight home.
Surviving a flight with Qantas, where I found the propellers on the plane very unnerving but was distracted (temporarily) by the free Frosty Fruit.
Came home to two very excited dogs, and two very tired humans (that was from their earlier fishing trip, not the dogs).
Briefly caught up with Mel and Sam before they flew out of Mackay (at McCafe of all places). Emma and Andrew came too, and I grabbed a couple of shots of Angus with his bright red hair!
Relaxed, in the comfort of home, for a couple of days.
Enjoyed a cozy New Year's Eve with Bryde, Matt, Jess, Gemma, and the Gordons. After a dinner of Spaghetti Bolognaise and Apple Pie, we played Trivial Pursuit. I did not realise that game can go on for hours (literally it took 4 hours to play, and we were cheating by the end). The game finished 10 minutes before the start of 2010, and we were in bed by 10 minutes after.
New Years Day we hosted breakfast for Bryde and Matt and the girls, before heading out to Marian to check out Linda and Lee's new place. It is a lovely house, and the layout suits their needs perfectly. Having come down with a head cold (not the way to start the new year), we headed home rather early.
Bryde's grandad died on Christmas Day. It wasn't a huge shock for the family, but they were still understandably upset. On the second day of the year, I went over to Wendy's place to help put together the funeral booklets. The tension and sadness was allieviated by teaching Jess to play poker. As Wendy said, her dad would have loved that.
Sadly, not that many photos this week. I will try to be better next week.
