Wednesday

We were up early this morning for the trip to the airport for M's flight to Sydney - and we were in good time to drop her off and for me to fight the traffic back to Southport, and to work. She really needn't have been worried as the traffic did flow well and I actually didn't have to fight it at all - just go with the flow to be at work on time. (Is it only just over a week since I dropped J and R at the other airport?) I even had time to call in to Zaraffa's for a coffee, the bakery for a sandwich for lunch and the supermarket for some breakfast cereal.

It's still a busy time at work so the day just flies - especially now that we have found someone to do a coffee run at lunchtime most days. This is a habit we will lose next year but as we race to the end of the year - with 2 of us out of five on deck, we're taking all the help we can get.

Mouse came to collect S today and they went off to breakfast at Ferry Road and then on to Bingo where Mouse's run of good luck for the week continued. They're off to The Big House tomorrow - to swipe cards in a promotion, and I'll pick S up from there! That will give me another chance to check out how Lars is doing after his visit to the mechanic today. Thanks to F, picking Lars up was fairly easy; he came out to the house to pick me up and then dropped me in Nerang.

The furries are having a quiet night in - so are we come to think about it - and not even the promise of a decent showing of Xmas lights is enough to tempt us out again. On the other hand (or would that be paw) at least two of the furries are champing at the bit to get back out but since it is lockdown time they will not get their wish/way now. I'm not quite sure why Tink came in before she was called and she is not quite sure why her plaintive cries asking to be let out are falling on deaf ears this evening. Maybe she wants to go out and check on the burn-off down the back - she certainly came back from that general direction at one point this afternoon. It figures that furries would also be interested in observing these things albeit hopefully from a distance.
