WednesdayToday we played tourists.
First a trip to the Gym then
Off to Yandina to the Ginger factory.
Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the GingerBread Man
What a mad place. It is a amusement park as well, you can take a train ride and see how they grow and process the ginger. We didn't partake.
There is a Macadamia Nut factory as well.We shopped.
I am obsessed with Chocolate Ginger and they had Macadamia and Ginger encased in Dark Chocolate.
Yum.
Holiday heaven below. Books mags. TV remotes...
I wonder how long it will take to consume those nuts.!!!
We also visited this craft shop some of the strangest crafts I have seen in a while.“Different!!!”
How do people think of these amazing things to make?
JT took a fancy to the pink tea cosy
Just focus on the middle shelf...there it is, in all it's glory
It was a big outing
Lunch in the sun on the patio
A simple Salad Nicoise Lunch in the sun on the patio
A little French Rose
Then rest
Paradise
Coolum Beach at sunset

Coolum Beach at sunset
Sound of the fountain-frogs chirping-
Dulcet tones of Tom Jones dueting with Van Morrison
Glasses of chilled wine
Beautiful birds flying past on their way home.
It’s a quick sunset…we are in the Sub Tropics of course
Its warm- doesn’t appear to be mozzie season yet.
Maybe the frogs eat them and keep them under control.
Go frogs
Then Dinner and Australian Idol
Yes we had picked the winners again. WE ARE GOOD.
This is a perfect holiday.

I spent most of the morning thinking about lunch and went shopping at the local shop.
Home, glass of Rose reading then
Dale picked up John and JT
and we late-lunched
Must use the macadamia nuts
So I encrusted goats cheese with crushed nuts
My camera is driving me mad so apologies for my shots these days.

Washed down once again with the very pleasant French Rose.
We ate a potato cake for dinner
using food in the fridge.
There was a packet of store bought coleslaw to be used
Just boil and mash potatoes
with butter and milk
Add coleslaw
Season
Add beaten egg and bake in hot oven about 20 minutes.
Very tasty. Just kind of like Bubble and Squeak really
We accompanied this with some grilled chicken.
Another grueling evening of Australian Idol and the World Athletic Championships.
It's exhausting really.
Thank God for wine it keeps us all going.
Macedamia nut factory! I'd be in heaven! Sounds like you're have a lovely holiday.
