Headed
into Morayfield this morning to get fuel for the car and we needed to
go to the post shop for stamps and a posting box. The few Christmas
cards that we needed to post to the UK,Scotland and USA were posted
while there, Christmas stamps for the rest we have to post which is
very few now days were purchased. Had a item of clothing that needed
to be exchanged for the birthday boy, item exchanged and time to head
outta there, think it was benefit/pension day as the mall was crowded
with olds and no hoper. We then drove over to Burpengary to the Hub
as my friend Keryn had told us there was a great F and Chip shop the
called Maria's, we found our way and the shop, sat and had them
outside at the little table and chairs. We have become very
particular now when buying fish as we like to know where the fish
comes from!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after seeing a prog on the fish that is
coming out of places like Vietnam, Thailand etc - Barramundi was the
choice - however it was not that brilliant I said to Brian we wont be
going all that way again just to get F and C so think they will be
off the menu once again. We haven't had them in yonks and Brian
wanted them for his birthday tea but I said no and cooked chops and
veg instead - lol . We had a good storm come through tonight however
it was mostly all noise and lightening, we did get a shower of rain
but really nothing substantial, the grounds are parched and in need
of water badly, we do sprinkle the small area of garden where there
are bedding plants but due to the fact that they pay through the nose
for water here we use it sparingly so we were kind of hopeing we
would get a good downpour. We brought Raj the Kelpie inside and he
lay on his bed inside the door he is terrified of thunder, he went
back outside when we went to bed as it had all passed by then. He
barked alot during the night/early morning there could have been
Kangaroos or possums around who knows I do know a human would not get
into the property with Raj on guard.
