Sunday

"The song that never ends." L loved it and couldn't get enough of it, especially when S started her own chorus of all the terrible fates which could/would befall someone who wouldn't/couldn't stop singing "The song that never ends". It's a shame L accidentally wiped the initial recording of the duel/duet between the two parts because it wasn't nearly as good the second time around - although we all had a good time singing at the top of our voices as we tooled down the highway on the way to deliver the children back to their parents in the afternoon.

We took the kids to the Markets with us in the morning - it was a good turnout - even N came for a brief moment which was surprising because she is still trying to get ready for her trip to France next Tuesday (the same day that J and R set off for the US).

After the Markets, we went off to the beach - or had planned to but Broadbeach was absolutely packed and there was no chance of getting a park which would allow us to get to the beach and back to Pacific Fair by 12:30 for "Puss in Boots". And I was so glad that we didn't miss "Puss in Boots" because it was very good. They had enough adult humour to keep us interested - although, truthfully, even the children's humour is enough to keep us involved - and the animation ... ahhh ... the animation. How did it get to be so good? The water in "Rango" was fantastic but the water in "Puss in Boots" was spectacular! You could almost feel it! So it was no surprise that we ended up at Currumbin Beach on the way to the airport so we could feel the sand and the surf. There is nothing quite like the beach.

It was sad to hand P and L back but I think we gave them a good time. When asked what their favourite bits of the weekend were, L said the (Latimers) animals and P said yum cha. See, there is something for everyone on the Gold Coast!

Back at home, M (thank you) and the furries were all in for early lockdown and it was early nights all round except for S who stayed up watching a program on Cabaret - the musical and the movement.
