Brunch and catching up with extended family

This morning I drove over to King William Road to meet Stan and Kate at Jones The Grocer for brunch. It was delicious and surprisingly it was a nice day. After breakfast, we left Stan and Luke and Kate and I walked up and down King William Road trying on some clothes but neither of us made a purchase - unusual for us!

On the way home we zipped into Burnside Village to pick up some bread and we chatted for ages over a coffee before finally going back to Kate's place. I hung out there for about 1/2 an hour before it was time for me to go and pick Dad up. I managed to find my way back to Woodhouse where he was all packed up and just finishing up with the group he had been camping with.

We drove into Stirling and had a coffee and a snack before driving home again. We were both knackered so we each had a rest for an hour or two before it was time to get up and go again. We were on our way to Annette's place for dinner.

Neither of us really felt up to it but once we got there it was really nice to catch up with family again. Diane and Russell (my cousin) were there as well as Annette, Ed, Rowan and Narelle. Ed cooked up a BBQ and we braved the cold to eat outside before moving inside to chat the night away. It was great to catch up with everyone again. Particularly Diane and Russell who I hadn't seen for 12 years.

I drove Dad home about 11 and we both fell into bed exhausted after a good night.
