Home from Queensland.

We had a lovely but tiring trip to the Gold Coast to celebrate long time skiing friend J's 80 the birthday. I think now we are over 80 it takes a lot longer to get over trips like this. Getting up at 4 am to reach the airport is no fun any more. J luckily gave us lunch and sent us to bed for a couple of hours. We helped with birthday preparations, helped feed old friends who were on the coast. Walked (slowly!) Shopped, had fabulous lunches and generally had a lovely time. Unfortunately the return trip was rather a nightmare, where we should have been home a bit over 4pm it was 6.30, but at least we were in Adelaide. We didn't get home until 8.30. No food in the house so into bed. I was shattered. Too old for all this. We were on our way to the airport when the delayed notification came through so rather a long wait in the airport. Yesterday we unpacked, washed, got food in. Animals pleased to see us. Very tired this morning and the prospect of Adelaide tomorrow and a house inspection on Thursday are not thrilling me.
