29/6 Auntie Marg

Awoke in the middle of the night to one of the realities of owning an electric car.  The range is lousy so you have to keep it on charge and I'd forgotten. 

Leaving Phoebe to have a few more minutes sleep,  Mags and I drove to Woolies at Oxley and plugged in.  Took mags for a short walk and while walking decided 50kW chargers are just way too slow. 

Back home. Tempted Phoebe with a coffee and she had a quick shower. Packed a few clothes and fed the dog and we were away. 

First stop Indooroopilly to use the superchargers.  See the complexity of a tesla.

Out the western freeway, North through the mountains to the west of Brisbane.  Breakfast Eggs Benny at Rendezvous bookshop at Dayboro.  Phone call to Auntie Marg to let her know we would be there late morning.

 

Arrived and met Rod at Marg's.  Cup of tea and showed photos of our trip to Turkiya.  Off to Auntie margs fish and chips store.

 

Then home to look for Phoebe's car keys which were found soon after the search began.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

28/6 Gold Coast Giovanna

Get away from Corinda was later than planned but still dropped in for a McDonald's coffee.  Priorities you understand. 

Set destination to Main Beach park run.  Google maps predicted a 6:58 arrival. As a result of chatting, missed the Smith St exit and took it next one. Still 6:58 arrival predicted. 

Luckily easily found a park near the toilets which were needed as a consequence of the coffee. Mags wears the haltie as I'm trying to get her to associate haltie with running and  not pulling.

Main Beach park run is a beautiful run.   Fairly flat but some small rises to add variety. Can't really call them Hills. The outward leg is a gravel track through the bush.The return leg is along the concrete footpath on the top of the dunes.  We could see mad English men and women swimming in surf.

The "run" was really walk-run-walk.  Close to my slowest time ever. 

Onto Giovanna and Dan's place. 

Lovely breakfast on their rear patio- scrambled eggs, ham, toast, coffee.   I used up some extra pieces of toast by lashing them with butter and jam.

HOME

Smooth drive home around 11. The traffic the other way was slow and bumper to bumper.

Snooze

DINNER
