Glenview House Stay

March 24/03/16

Well the weather is still warm during the day however we have noticed the evenings and the mornings have cooled off. We moved as planned to our next housesit here at Glenview on Tuesday - took all off 5min drive. No hassels have the caravan here with us which we will take to friends on the 31st. We have a lovely outlook from the back patio as you would have seen from the previous photos posted. We have Mishka the cat and Skylah the dog to mind, both mainly indoor animals (which I cann't get my head around) the dog is out during the day however the cat is never allowed outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she would dearly love to get out the doors and even sits up on the bathroom window sill looking out through the screen window, she sits at the slider doors and peers out through the screen, we have a note on the door reminding us to close the door so that Mishka doesn't get out - she already has once however Brian managed to coax her back in. She goes missing and we cann't find her and it is panic stations until she is located. Other than that nothing to report really, staying off the roads over the weekend as all the idiots will be out in force. New passports arrived today so all legal once again, doubt we will have to renew them as these are 10year ones.

Below photos the beautiful Mishka the cat and Skylah the Pooch:

 

 

 

We Move On Tuesday

March 19th 

Our friends are due back earlier than we had thought so we had to find somewhere to go. They want to be back before Easter. We did not want to have to go into the caravan as it is still very warm and over Easter all the van parks will be noisy and too expensive, its school holidays here also. However fortunately for us a house sit came up over in Glenview not a 5min drive, it is a young kiwi couple heading back to NZ for 2wks and they have a modern home, dog and cat to mind. We head there on Tuesday taking the caravan with us for 2wks. While there we will take the caravan to a friends house at Yandina, she and her husband have offered to have Poppy there as they have a lard property. From Glenview we head to Coolum for 2wks which will be nice. We do have to split for 2 nights but that is not a bother.
So into packing, cleaning mode here now for our move on Tuesday - will update one there.
Brian's report from the hospital was pretty darn good, but back to see surgeon on Wed 23rd and will see what happens from that visit. Still very warm here, bit shitty humid and apparently we are in for a storm later today.
A few photos below of the Glenview house we are moving to on Tuesday - yep its high up off the ground, large land area, nothing to do other than feed dog and cat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sirromet Winery (it's out of order- sorry)

March 19th - 2016

Hi all just a few pics of the gorgeous Sirromet Winery, while at Capalaba we took ourselves off to have a look, only 5min drive from Capalaba.

Situated at picturesque Mount Cotton, just a short drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Sirromet’s state of the art facilities offer food and wine lovers the ultimate winery experience - combining production, cellar door and 5 star restaurant.Sirromet is an Australian success story. The family owned winery has collected over 790 prestigious national and international wine awards since opening in 2000.Here, in the state-of-the-art winery, chief winemaker – Adam Chapman – and expert team combine their skills to produce our world-class table, sparking and fortified wines. We shared a Devonshire Scone and had a coffee before heading back to the house, it was a very hot day.
