Return of Us

We are home safe and sound.

We decided to forego a morning with Bubbles and leave the Sunny Coast early.

Thank God we did!

The roadworks were horrendous and our trip home, which would normally take 2.5 hours, took 4 hours.

If we’d spent the day with Bubbles and left at 3pm as originally planned, we’d have arrived home at 7pm after dark which would have been problematic because BGWLBH has night blindness 😳

It was a long arduous drive and at one stage we were stopped for 30 minutes on a stretch of road where there was no phone or internet coverage and the hot sun was streaming through the front window.

People were out of their cars and standing around waiting while hundreds of cars were driving past us, very slowly, from the opposite direction.

You could feel the tension in the air.

It would have been so much faster to come home via Maryborough and Hervey Bay.

Luckily we had stopped at Kunara Organic Markets in Forest Glen where we enjoyed a delicious organic bacon (nitrate free) and egg breakfast with pots of tea, so we were energised for the first two hours of the trip.

That’s where I purchased a native bee box.

We have native bees nesting in our front door step and they are buzzing all through our avocado tree so we are going to hang this inside the avocado tree and hope that they move in.

I bought a plant to put in the pot that I bought to put in the macrame hanger.

I got some Neem oil.

In the supermarket I purchased 2 x bottles of my Lamav BB cream. I had JUST used the last of mine that morning and tossed the bottle in the bin and I was unscrewing the top and scooping the last of it with a cotton bud!

I also bought some Vit C face serum, some night cream, a face mist, some purifying essence and a new brand of natural toothpaste.

We stopped at Beefy’s and got three frozen GF steak pies. When we arrived at the Torbanlea turnoff I phoned Adoring Husband and asked him to turn on the oven and as soon as we arrived home, I popped them in and they cooked while we unpacked the car.

I unwrapped all my goodies to show AH, put all the foodstuff away but still haven’t unpacked my suitcase.

BGWLBH and I could muster no energy this afternoon and it took every effort to prepare sweet potato chips and salad while AH cooked lamb cutlets on the barbecue. I didn’t eat any dinner but sat with them while they ate.

I came to bed at 6.30pm but got up twice to attempt to unpack - I’m halfway there - I have to mention how wonderfully comfortable my bed is after spending five nights in those dreadful beds in the apartment - which I mentioned on their feedback sheet so it’ll be interesting to see if I hear anything back.

Now I’m going to close my exhausted eyes and hopefully sleep very soundly for the first time in five nights.

Nite all.
