I really missed this little fellow while I was away...he loves his snacks and his books...

Brothers...

Ethan has the best smiles, his whole face lights up.

Decorating the Christmas tree...

While I was flying back to Perth,  Pete was cutting our tree and bringing it home in my car....

What a great tree eh?!

The Story bridge....Michelle and I did a little sight seeing today...stopping for coffee and lunch...

Some of the newer buildings in the CBD.

A lovely old bandstand in the Botanic Gardens.

And after all the walking Michelle and I decided to have a pedicure....sooo nice.

My school friend  Trish picked me up this morning from Michelle's. I am staying with her on the north coast for a couple of days. Whilst down in Brisbane Trish and I caught up with her 90 year old mum and took her out to coffee. Then up to Shorncliffe where I used to go for our primary school annual picnics.

Currimundi Beach , where Trish walks her dog, Scamp.

The highlight of the day was a boat ride to Bribie Island with a couple of Trisha's friends.
