So This Is Winter

Despite the weather warnings of strong onshore winds from Cape Moreton down to Point Danger, after looking up where Cape Moreton and Point Danger actually were we thought we'd go up to Bribie Island for the day as we haven't realy been out of Brisburbia for a while.

We wandered up and down the beach for a few hours and ate our sandwiches while the dogs wandered around and had a good time.

Eloise decided that one particular arrangement of driftwood was actually her house and started to make cakes, which as time went on became quite tiresome as the wind was cool if not biting and poor Nicole was starting to feel the chill.

In fact Nicole was feeling the chill all along and repeatedly trying to get Eloise for goodness' sake to put a jumper on but she would have none of it as she has inherited my resistance to cold rather than Nicole's - fortunately for her.

As far as I was concerned it was a lovely day in the mid-twenties with the breeze just giving me a pleasant feeling of sea air. I'm probably tempting fate by writing that.

Nicole cooked quiche for tea, which made a refreshing change from my somewhat limited, though admittedly delicious repertoire.
