Well It's been a big time here at the little world of Joyce and Chris. Gene and Jo called while we were at the clinic getting my top up of Intragam on Friday morning. They were on their way down to pick up a new little wagon they want to use for training horses. It's lighter then the current trianing one and more complete then the ten thousand piece puzzle that is their show wagon in it's current deconstructed state. Anyway it was in a town just north of Brisbane and we asked the doc and he said go for it so we settled on meeting in Eumundi about 1.5 hours north of us. We had lunch at Eats and a bit of a stoll. It was not a market day so was pretty quiet and safe for me. So another first, a big day out of town!
Saturday we were expecting Mary Ellen and Caitlin for morning tea but they stayed and we had lunch at the Story Bridge Hotel in the Outback open air area. Still not very busy and safe for me. We then took a walk over the back and around the point back to our place. We looked at Caitlin's pics of her school formal and showed them pics from Gatton that Anne left us. It was big fun.
I took a nap then anounced that I wanted to do the next big walk. So at 4:00pm we set out. We climbed the stairs behind the Story Bridge Hotel up to the Bridge walkway and crossed the Bridge. Then walked down and under the bridge to the river then walked down stream on the new floating river boardwalk to the bottom of New Farm. We got to Sydney street and took the ferry back up and around the point to our side and walked home. I jumped on Google earth and calculated the path distance. Not including the stairs and level changes.... I walked 4.2 Kms! We got back at 6:00pm and it had gone dark and the city and bridge were beautiful in the lights.
Peter and Marion came down for a conference yesterday and they came and had breakfast at Butter with us this morning. Bluey made lovely cofee for us afterward at the unit and we had a good talk about the state of the world. We had a great time but they are off to HB now.

Yes, folks, Chris has experienced a marked improvement in the last week. I'm so proud of how well he is coming along!
Hello Chris, I am in Belmont with Jim and Sean. Road trip has gone fine so far. More details on my blog.
Sounds like you are getting better and working at getting out there. That's great. Best wishes from me at the Belmont library computer, and from Sean. California sunshine, eucalyptus trees, brown hills with green trees hugging the creases where the water runs...it's all beautiful and I wonder how I wound up living in the cold rain forest?
