Last Sunday with the Family

We needed to shop for to-night's meal. Pork Tenderloin in mushroom and cream sauce had been requested. Sara volunteered to drive us if we didn't mind doing a bit of exploring. This turned out to be driving a rural suburb of Brisbane looking at houses - Golds Creek road to-day. Apparently she has started doing this on her solitary shopping expeditions. When the final agonising steps towards sale of the London house have gone through, they will be looking around and Sara is doing some initial investigating. We saw some palatial houses set in plenty of ground, in wooded valleys - and three camels grazing in a hilltop field. Most unexpected. As were three Bush Curlews in a roadside garden, our first this trip, no bins, no camera.
Shopping in Coles over, Sara cooked us bacon rolls for lunch, Mike and the boys had eaten. After a few games of Fragger on my laptop with Josh and Harry and then a game of 10 pin and 100 pin bowls with each in turn, I cooked - in both meanings of the word. Lovely sunny day so one stays indoors with the aircon on. Firstly the garlic chicken a la Tina ready for to-morrow and then the pork dish. Haven't had the latter since we were last here. It was requested then too. Sara cooked the veg though, I went on strike.
Another game of Dash About Australia after supper....I didn't know how many sheep there were in Australia nor which state's inhabitants are known as crow eaters.Do I care?
Can't have a day without photos, here are some I haven't used.
