It was sunny and windy.

We were woken by a little Mase saying "boo" at 6:15am. He got into bed with Marg and me and stayed for over 30 minutes. Lukey dropped Jo and Mont at the Coolangatta Airport, as they have a dance seminar in Sydney.
Back in downtown Pac Pines, Marg, Mase and I drove back to our caravan park and towed our fiver to the caravan storage place. After that, we met up with Lukey at Helensvale's Donut King before going back to Lukeys. In the afternoon, we had a doctor's appointment. We are still alive.

We entertained Mase and then had We had chicko rolls, while Mase had sausage rolls.

Tomorrow we rest, as we are buggered.

By the way, we have moved into with Lukey and Jo and family for the next couple of months.

It was sunny and windy.

We awoke about 6:30am and Mase was in bed with Daddy. We buggered about at home until Marg, Mase and I took some 'stuff' to our Storage King and then over to Officeworks to buy Marg another mouse. After unpacking all our 'stuff' at Lukeys, we couldn't find Marg's mouse anywhere, we looked everywhere and even asked Mase if he had seen it. He hadn't. SO we bought another one. When we got back home, we had lunch and Marg walked out with her original mouse, it was on the shoe rack for some unknown reason. Marg now has 2 computer mice. Lucky her.

After lunch, Lukey, Mase and me drove over to the tip, and then to Bunnings, to buy some 'stuff' and then picked up Marg and the four of us went shopping at Coles. As Marg was cooking mini pizzas for dinner, we need some ingredients.

During the arvo, Lukey, Mase and me watched the Sandown 500 practice on TV. Go Lowndesy. He is not going well.

As mentioned above, dinner was mini pizzas (aka mini mes). They were extremely yumma.

We managed to stay awake until nearly 9pm, we were buggered.

It was sunny and windy.

We slept very well. I got up about 6:30am and Mase was in the shower with Daddy. We buggered about home until Marg, Mase and I went to Bunnings and bought Mase a new sandpit. After dropping that back home and setting it up, Mase didn't want to leave his sandpit and come with Marg and me to Helensvale for a coffee and small shop, then back to Bunnings for 2 more 20kg bags of sand and then dropped off the padded coat hangers that Marg had made for Bec and Jay's wedding.

Back at home, Marg and I finished tidying up our bedroom and Lukey and I tidied up the garage, so now the Bubble lives in the garage beside Jo's car, while the mighty Navara lives on the grass beside the driveway.

During the arvo, Lukey, Mase and me watched the Sandown 500 (reduced race). Go Lowndesy. He is not going well.

Lukey blew me away by making nachos. They were YUMMA YUM YUM.

It was sunny, cloudy and windy.

We slept very well. I got up about 6:30am and Mase was in Daddy's bedroom. I looked after him, while Lukey got organised. Marg managed to get up about 8am. Lucky bugger.
We buggered about home until mid morning, then Marg, Mase and I went to Spotlight, Marg had run out of wool, she is now making 'Trauma Teddys' then over to our Storage King, to drop off some 'stuff' and pick up a few items. Mason enjoyed pushing the trolley with 'Mason Bear' on it. On the way home, we stopped at Helensvale at Gloria Jeans for a coffee, mud cake and banana bread, then arrived back home and had lunch.
Mase must have spent close to 3 hours playing in his new sandpit, it was unreal. You can see him from the kitchen and also while sitting in the lounge.

Marg made her chicken with rice and cashews. It was YUMMA.

Jo and Mont arrived home just after 9pm after their weekend in Sydney at the Dance Expo. Saying that they were buggered is an understatement.

Tomorrow, Mase and I may go riding, while Jo and Mont sleep.

It was sunny, cloudy and windy.

We slept very well. I got up about 6:10am and Mase was sitting on his comfy chair watching Peppa Pig. I looked after him, until Marg got up about 8:00am and dressed him.
We loaded daddy's bike in the mighty Navara and Mase and I were off to park near the caravan park, we found a parking spot in front of the Coast Guard office. We started riding at 8:46am. We rode our normal route up to our Northern turnaround point at Lands End then visited various playgrounds, stopped at Cafe Rockpool where Katie made Mase's raisin toast and my coffee, then down to our Southern turnaround point and then back to the mighty Navara or as Mase calls it ("The Truck").

I made rissoles on Lukey's BBQ and Marg prepared the salad. Naturally, it was yumma.

Jo arrived home from work at about 2:30pm.

Stop for my daily weather photos, then retrace my route back to Southport SLSC, then along the gravel Federation walk to the Spit, ride both the Spits and sit out at the end and ate my banana.

As we are staying with Lukey and Jo and their family, it is not worth doing a daily update, so I wont be updating the website until we are staying back in our fiver. We are booked in at Broadwater Tourist Park from 1st Feb.

This will work out very well for me as I have over 25,000 photos sitting in my photobucket account and each photo has to be moved onto my one drive and the code for each photo has to be manually changed. It is and will be an absolute time consuming pain the bum.

Talk to you in Feb, hopefully our hole in the ground will be closer to finishing.
