    We took on parental duties for Summer's school runs today which allowed J and R to attend their offices in the city without any further pressures.
    We spent our quiet day planning our road trip. This year we decided to revisit some of our favourite places on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane.
    We booked up some sites for our trip, stopping at Maroochydore (where previously we had to curtail our visit due to the covid crisis) and Noosa, which is one of our favourite spots.
    We also booked a four day guided visit to Fraser Island, (now known as K'gari) - a trip we had to cancel previously due to Karen breaking her ankle. We are intending to travel up to Seventeen Seventy prior to meeting Jamie et al at Noosa prior to Easter.
    A cooked a swahili fish curry for dinner in the evening.
    Tuesday was another lazy day, with a bit more planning for our road trip.
    We did Summer's school runs and K, (in between preparing the evening meal) took Sophie and Sammy to their dance classes in the evening.
    On Wednesday we drove to Margate, from where we walked along the beach for 4k to Redcliffe. We had a potter along the pier, a look in the charity shops, then enjoyed a beer and wine on the sea front. We found some shade in the afternoon to sit and read our books prior to our return to base in the evening. We walked about 8 miles today.
    Missing our turn at Bald Hills we winged it back to base via Boondall. Renee had prepared a lovely taco wrap evening meal.
