Lars ... going ...

Those Plovers are playing musical paddocks - I suppose they have to to ensure the safety of the chicks ... but that notwithstanding, it does make it a bit difficult to keep track of them.

It was another busy day today, and a bit sad as well because today we said goodbye to Lars. He has been a fantastic car over the years and we have many fond memories of trips and times with him. I had to do the doings with the man who came to take him away so I had to be there - but Sooz didn't come out - she didn't want to. It marks the end of an era and just about the last tangible link with her Dad (another reason we were glad to call the new car Billi - great suggestion M!).

... going ... gone.

M was in Brisbane today and surprised Sooz and I by bringing Luke Nguyen Vietnamese home for dinner. It was magnificent and definitely better than the best Vietnamese we've been able to find on the Coast to date. There was a great selection too - which included our very favourite rice paper rolls together with what tasted like a satay chilli sauce. Yum. But even better was that there was way too much of it - so there are leftovers for lunch and possibly even a dinner.
