J and J Visit N and N

We picked up James and Jane from the airport yesterday. Earlier in the day, as apparently has happened to them everywhere that they have been, it started to rain and didn't really stop for twenty-four hours.

I was in a bit of a state as Eloise had thoughtfully borrowed my mobile phone earlier on, put it in her pocket, then poured a cup of tea afterwards. As a consequence the left hand side of the phone no longer worked; though it's better now.

We hung around the house in the evening and ate stuff and drank stuff.

Eloise was up bright and early and annoying - whoops entertaining - James and Jane first thing. It was still raining.

I took the dogs out to the brook... it was still raining. I was soaked to the skin.

We decided that the best plan was to go for a nice scenic drive then go to somewhere indoors, and settled on Underwater World at Mooloolaba.

We pitched up at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, and miracle of miracles it stopped raining so we went for a walk in the rainforest and had a picnic before setting off again, taking a wrong turn and having a map related argument.

Then to Mooloolaba and Underwater World which was fine. We watched the seal show and Eloise wet herself so thoroughly that Nicole had lovely wet patches on her jeans. Hooray!

Nicole as usual took over cooking so the meat eaters had Spag Bol and I had veggie bol. It was nice. Thanks very much!
