What a lovely time in Canberra we had. I was surprised at how lovely the day turned out. It was a good start, we had a very easy flight and managed to arrive 15 minutes early from a 45 minute flight. We flew Virgin Blue on the way there and Qantas on the way home.
The Flight arrived right in time for a bus to take us to the city and 5 minutes later another bus took us directly to the gallery. We hadn't really had breakfast so after a couple of hours of looking at the most amazing paintings we grabbed a pass out and had some lovely cooked breakfast, recharged and let the flat lining blood sugar even out a bit. Then straight back to it. 5 rooms of wonder. I loved all of the paintings and even those that I didn't love were still given time to appreciate.
After that off for some lunch Japanese of course, a little cafe with lovely Udon noodles yum and time to watch the world go bye... then for a walk around the area, a bit more walking, looking at some foodie shops and a bit of buying for the kiddies and then PUB TIME, now that has been years since me and my other half have done that. Then well another walk, it was just such a lovely day that needed to be enjoyed and taken advantage of and especially with no great big hills to climb, then back to the pub for a meal of MUSSELS, 1 kg in white wine and chips with mayo... so much for the walking!
Back to the airport and a little time drinking in the Qantas lounge, thank you frequent flyer points and home. ALL IN ALL a very enjoyable day.
Now that we were home, my other half had to start getting ready to go to Spain, holiday was cut short unfortunately. So a bit of research needed to be done and a desperately needed hair cut and some ice cream for the kiddies.
After he left on Saturday afternoon, we spent the day just working out what we needed to do and having a quiet time. Everyone was exhausted and a bit over things.
Sunday I spent the afternoon explaining about CP to my Little Petal as too many questions were being asked about why she was different. It was taken better than I expected and now she has popped herself in the Special Category. Sigh Not something that I wanted to do and we had put it off so long it was left up to me alone to do. It is so hard watching the little ones discover the world. I wish it was very different.
So now we are up to now, back at school, just plodding along and making a little progress each day. I have cleaned the fridge, done the ironing and started sorting out things. Never ending process.
Speak again soon.
