Following on from road safety yesterday, there was an incident on the Gold Coast Motorway where a doona was spotted south-bound on the M1. It turned out to be a doona discarded or perhaps just lost on the motorway rather than one travelling under its own power ... although if it had been, finally there may have been Manchester to rival the flying carpet.
L and M returned from the great South where they attended this year's Melbourne Cup and it appears they did enjoy themselves. It was good they had phoned to let M know their flight arrival time otherwise they may have had to make their way home under their own steam. No word yet on whether Lacey has had her foal.
How disappointing is it when you think you are going to get in a bit of mowing and it doesn't happen because the fan belt you thought had been fixed really hadn't been totally fixed. At least it was the fan belt that ran the blades rather than the motor otherwise we would have had to push it back to the garage ready for it to be collected by the mower servicing people.
M went with F this evening up to the Brisbane Airport to collect the returning traveller. M has been away for weeks and weeks and it will be good to have her back - and if we feel that way I can't imagine what her immediates are feeling!
S and I had a very quiet evening in - it was QI, Glee (which we watched briefly but have recorded) and then off to bed not long after for her although I did get trapped by "The Librarians" and "The IT Crowd". And as I write that I realize what I should have been watching instead was "The Apprentice" - d'oh ... memory like a sieve!
