We ended up not doing much again today. We called and booked the fishing for Friday and the Moreton Island tour for Sunday. I spent most of the day getting things done here. Joanna, Rohan, Rob and I hung out at Joe and John's apartment for a while because we were all going to go out for Alan's birthday, which is today. Alan finally showed up and Joanna gave him his gift of heaps of random stuff she had in her room that she didn't want to bring back home. He ...

All we planned for today was going to Sunshine Plaza, Sizzler and Friday's. We didn't leave for the Plaza until 2:30 so I had lots of time to get things done in the morning. I checked online for travel ideas for when I leave and a few other things. Joanna, Kate and I didn't get much accomplished at the Plaza except to bum around. We ran into Martin not long before we were going to leave; he had rented a car for the next few days so he offered to bring us to S...

It is definitely winter here...I have a cold. And I was doing so well since I haven't been working in the daycare and around heaps of kids, but I'm sick anyway.

I didn't last long before I got tired and left to take a nap before the BBQ and to stay rested so I don't get sick...

It was Linda's birthday on Friday and when I talked to Isabell on Thursday night after getting back from the Tav she invited me over to Varsity for brunch to celebrate her birthday. I went over to Varsity at 10:30 and the rest of the girls were already there preparing. There was heaps of food there and it all looked delicious. Linda came a few minutes later and she was surprised. We had a huge feast of pancakes, yoghurt and muesli, fruit, breads, meat and veg...

Beach day! We had to take the 9:40 bus to Mooloolaba because the next one was just before noon. The beach was almost empty when we got there and the water was extremely calm, there were barely any waves and they were barely breaking. The temperature was only 22C (about 72F) and the water is only 20C (68F) according to a display board by the lifeguard. Kate and I walked in the water and it was pretty cold, our feet got used to standing in it after a few minute...
