Yes - between vacation and guests, I have been on holiday since about December 28th. Sadly, everyone has gone home and I'm back to my "normal" routine. Now to catch up on the 400+ pictures I've taken, paperwork and various other chores.
However, chores will not get in the way of social outings. ;) This morning was our weekly hike traveling approximately 4K around Mt Coot-tha here in Brisbane. There were 7 of us and we did the Simpson Falls/Eugenia circuit which took about an hour. A good way to start the morning...especially when coffee and chatting follows. Our next big hike will be from Wynnum to Manley along the shore.
Speaking of coffee, I have become more of a connoisseur while living here...only slightly addicted. The days do go better once you have had a stout long black to get the day going. We have also enjoy the neighborhood pub/restaurant and the Queensland beer on tap from various brewers. Since the pub is on our evening walking route, it is very easy to stop off for a schooner...
Over Easter weekend, we learned more about the drinking laws on Good Friday. Some liquor licenses limit patrons alcohol intake to one hour before their meal, during their meal and at most, one hour after their meal. That means the staff was noting what time you ordered, what time you received food, etc. Plus the definition of a meal means you must need a knife and fork. As and example, chips (french fries) are not considered a meal however, potato wedges with toppings would be a meal.
We were able to manage and get our schooner. :)
