Cimone's Going Away Dinner and our trip to Laidley

On Saturday night I went out with some of my mother's group friends for Cimone's farewell dinner. She is moving to Canberra in about three weeks.


We went to The Boatshed at the Regatta Hotel in Toowong. The food and the company were great.

Clockwise L to R: Leah, me, Cimone, Emma, Kate and Karen

Unfortunately I got home to a sick little boy - Liam had a fever and quite a chesty cold, and he had a very unsettled night.


He's much better now though and was well enough today to enjoy a lovely morning tea / lunch with my friends Rachel and Jenni, and Lachy who is 19m.o. and Anika who is 7m.o.


Yesterday we took a Sunday drive to Laidley / Ipswich / Esk. Don't ask me why we ended up out there ... I casually mentioned that I'd never been to Ipswich before and next thing I knew the car was packed and we were on our way. Thanks to a local's tip (thanks Kerryn) we had a great lunch at a pub in Laidley called the QN. Highly recommended if you're ever out that way.

Hiding under the BBQ ... look how sneaky I am!!

Can you tell Zane and I only had about 3 hours sleep the night before??
