Dan headed off to schoolies with Jo making the 4 hour return trip with Dan in excitement of his week ahead and the contraband drinks in his suitcase that he was eager to start on.
I had to head down to Melbourne on the Sunday to start early at the TBC day at the Crown on the Monday followed by a late flight back into Brisbane to arrive home and get ready to drop Char and Nadine to the international airport and wish them a fond fair well on their month trip toEurope amongst the security issues.
We were now child free- feels like Africa already!!
Tis the day before Joey's 50th and things are in preparation for her big day
Jo had seen a sculpture of a Emu at the Woodford Folk Festival at Bill's bar in Dec 2013 that really took her eye and she raved about it every day when we revisited to view her over a cool beer.
Here she is in her full cheeky self at Woodford
Not one to be big on ideas for birthday presents ( nothing wrong with giving a cycad as I used to say to Jo to her dismay) I had now discovered a perfect 50th birthday present for her.
Fast forward about 18 months and a few calls to her creator - Ivan.
She arrived at our place mid morning in between me juggling work and Ivan arriving to drop her off from the Goldy.
Jo was working in the valley accounting firm today so had a chance to cover her up by the time Jo got home just in case Jo ventured down the back and spotted her.
