We're back (from outer space)
Jonathon (Mac) is back and working beautifully so we are finally back in touch with the world. We headed off to Brisbane last Saturday for Denise's 50th party which was at the Plough Inn on the Southbank. Neither of us had been to Brisbane for 35 years so it was quite a different town that we drove into. Freeway madness, lots of skyscrapers but it still has a big country town attitude LOL.
Sunday was a wee bit slow as the heads were not great, so off to the Valentino dress exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art. As you probably guessed there were lots of women and very very very few blokes, but that didn't stop us wandering around ooooh and aaaarrring with the best of them LOL.
Really the exhibition is amazing and if you ever get the chance to see these fab clothes do it. From there we headed over to the rivercat and spent the next two hours wandering along the Brisbane River.
Along the way we came across some bowling friends so dropped in for a chat (Pic) always time for a billy tea with friends LOL.
The trip along the river was quite an eye opener. We had no idea that there was so much development along the river. Thousands of apartments, one on top of the other. The Jacs were in full bloom which made the river banks very colourful and hid some of the concrete LOL.
After the cruise we ended up at Kingsleys restaurant at the Riverside and what a great find that was. Overall a pleasant trip to the city. From there it was off to the Brass coast for a night to catch up with Di and the local gossip. Yesterday (Tuesday) was spent on the road as the trip home was 7 hours. Waiting for us as we drove in was another orchid out in flower. AAAAAHHHHHH it's sooooo good to be home.

Add another name to your list. The orchid is Dendrobium discolour, another native to your area.
And make sure you remember all those latin names, otherwise they wont flower and all your friends have no idea what you talk about when you say "Orchid". They all ask, is it a land far away ? a animal ? a handicapped human? or may one of those fantastic drinks ?? LOL LOL
Don't be silly. If you don't call them by their scientific names they will still grow and flower exactly the same. The only difference is that they will pick up their roots one night and creep into your house and strangle you in your sleep.
Cant wait, action in the bedroom LOL LOL
oh you guys are so much in trouble after coming to Brisbane and not calling Denise (and Adrian). Denise is going to throttle you big time and will withhold her prized grog when we get up there. Very brave posting the trip so Denise could see it.
