A Weekend Visitation

Nicole's cousin Josie has come to stay for the weekend.

She arrived early yesterday morning and it was a surprise for Eloise though she took it in her stride after dragging herself out of her pit at nine o'clock or so. She crept up behind her and greeted her with a very large "Boo!"

We went to the market in the morning as usual for our shopping and coffee then in the afternoon we went up to Mooloolaba and walked the dog on the rocks then had a very nice barbie accompanied by the largest $3 chips I've seen.

Eloise fell asleep in the car on the way back... then woke up just as we were getting home, quite surprised to have managed to drive home so quickly.

This was a harbinger of doom as she then proceeded to fail to fall asleep until she'd moved into our bed, waited until we'd gone to bed, and wriggled around for another half an hour.

She then wet the bed, so I woke up in a monster wet patch.

Nice.

Today the weather was a bit grim, overcast with light rain, so we went down to South Bank for the Valentino Retrospective and looked at lots of very expensive dresses.

Then we had a look around the Douglas Kirkland exhibition with lots of photos of famous people.

Very cultural, quite entertaining.
