Father's Day was duly celebrated with a lovely picnic morning tea at the beach at Caloundra with Jo and family. Great fun. Grandma has had numerous trips to visit them in their new home. Very comfy family home.
Now I remember, I had to change my medication, so made the most of kind invitations from the kids to visit them while I did so.
The changeover has gone smoothly mostly I think. Although a fuzzy head and a blocked ear since flying back from Melbourne, has been annoying me intensely. On steroids (prednisone) for a week..keeping me awake at night....if no better after that I am off to an ENT specialist! A very strange feeling to be so deaf in one ear, and have noise reverberating around my head. I now know why Vincent Van Gogh may have cut off his ear!
A trip by bus to Toowoomba for a visit and a family 60th birthday party for Uncle Dave at Greenmount, was fun too. Thanks to all who have been driving me around, while I am unable to drive! Many thanks. I must admit I am actually enjoying the extra walking and even the public transport. The train to Landsborough is a dream, and a bus connection from some of the trains from there direct to the University of the Sunshine Coast where Jo works, and where they live nearby is very handy too.
The strange weather continues with a week or so of quite hot weather, interspersed with cold again. Very strange As I catch up with this post in October ((13th) as I write this, we have just had snow down south and on the Granite Belt. Very strange. Very very strange weather for October.
I guess the most disappointing thing for me has to have no camera to use. And I am a little unsure as to how to replace it...meaning what sort of camera to buy. Many thanks to Ian for loaning me his while I was down there. Lovely to have a tiny record of my trip. And to have some photos of the time you sent showing me around RMIT, the State Library, and the remains of the old Melbourne jail. Very very interesting. Some of those photos you will find towards the end of this months post. There was a lovely photo of the Toowoomba kids on the wall in Melbourne, one taken last year in the lovely spring gardens. Sorry no new ones from this year, even though I had a lovely time in the park with the kids,Kath, my sister Margaret and her grand children too. Maybe when I get organized I might be able to get some off Margaret if they worked out (the ones I took on her camera)!!
Hope you are enjoying your October. Catch you here again soon, no doubt! Time to hit publish here I think. I do hope the photos have some semblance of order about them. Not only am I struggling with a new system on my new laptop, also struggling with a new system on blogger here. Most weird. I think I should have tried to put some writing in between the photos as I went, oops. A couple of photos seem to have doubled up at the bottom of the post there. If I delete them, they get deleted elsewhere, so I won't!
