We went for a walk this morning to lakes

Marg had do her seniors computer training at Logan Central from 12:30 to 2:30 so Mum and I went for a short drive to the Kingston Butter factory.

Then we went to Logan Central shops so Mum could bi a Hot Water bottle (she thought Dianne had Packed it) it only cost $5.00 at Dollars and Sence.

Then we had lunch at coffee place. Mum had a Toasted cheese sandwich which she reckoned was beautifull because it also had Bacon in it.

We Piched up Marg and did some Grocery shopping on the way home at Regents Park Shopping Centre.

When We arrive home I use the new tool I have bought to tighten up the plastic water pipe fitting that I had repaired the previous day and Mum helped me.

We are sitting out the back in the sunshine. It was 9 degrees when we got up this morning but now at 10:24 its 17 and its forecast to be 23 today.

We plan on going for a little drive to Springfield Lakes this afternoon. They have a new shopping center ther.

We Bought fish and chips for lunch and went to a park that overlooks the North East side of Mt Tamborine were we could see the Brisbane CBD. Then drove home via Mount Lindsey Highway to via Browns Plains.

I had to go to Ipswitch to bi a new pump for the washing machine and Mum came with me. This was the first day it had been overcast all day and it only got to 17 C.

As Marg was doing a training course in the City we had to pick her up at Grand Plaza shopping centre and mum thought this guy was real.

Marg was still doing the training course so we drove her into the city with the intention of walking around their. Unfortunately we could not find and parking spots. Even the metered Parking was $3.60 per hour. As it was early in the morning an overcast it was quire cold. We did have a quick look at the City Botanical gardens

Being to cold we headed out of the city and went to Fairfield and the shopping center their so Mum could go to the chemist and we also had morning tea. We we went out to the car park we say this car.

Its just like to one, same colour as well, that Dad used to have

We then drove to the top of Mount Gravatt

The we drove to Garden City Shopping Centre where Mum had a subway roll for lunch. She had to have three goes at eating it.

We also found a store with a familiar name.

I did my seniors computer training, Marg was still doing the training course and Kristi was at work so Mum was at home by herself. AS per usual she went for a walk on our street. When We all got home their were quire a few wild birds to feed. Mums Magpie, 3 Kookaburras and numerous butcherbirds.

Mum last day here. We went for another walk around Forestdale before we drove to the Airport for Mum to catch a flight home. Unfortunately Mum had a Nail file in her cabin baggage as well as a metal handle styleing comb that got picked up by the X-ray machine and she had to forfeit them. Other than that she had a good trip home.

This map shows some of the almost 800 km we did whilst mum was here. Excluding the bit to the Gold Cost.
