Up WIth the Larks

Nudgee Beach We were indeed up with the larks this morning. Although the particular larks we happened to get up with were very very lazy larks who dragged themselves out of their nests at about seven o'clock. But still that's not too bad for a Sunday.

After breakfasting we were out of the house by nine o'clock or so. Someone had had a madcap idea to go to Northey Street City Farm Organic Market, so that is what we did.

We haven't been there for a while, and it was very much the same as the last time, only hotter. We wandered around the stalls, keeping in the shade, and maintaining our highly honed financial prudence. We sat down for coffee amongst the hippies and students with their bum fluff beards and big floppy hats. Eloise and Nicole wandered off to go and play on a rope swing and bang some drums, and I minded the drinks and got in with the hippies by meditating... well sitting still, and they didn't even notice.

After a while there we came back home and had a spot of leftover lasagne for lunch. Apparently I have to retract the description of yesterday's lasagne as "microwave" as this caused Nicole to have histrionics. So let's say "pre-prepared" instead.

Eloise had a nap for a couple of hours, during which she probably slept for an hour.

Nicole tended to her mysterious realm, the compost heap. It was pretty hot! She was bright pink with exertion by the time she'd finished.

We decided it was too hot to take the dogs out just yet, so we went to the library and tent-hunting at Kmart. Air-conditioning. Yum.

About five thirty it was starting to cool down, so we went to Nudgee Beach and walked around with the dogs up there. The tide was out so we could just walk straight out and not need to brave the mozzy-swarming mangroves.
