Maryborough and Riki

We moved back into Maryborough from Poona and stayed two nights with Riki-another Recipezaar member. We had met her briefly on the Wednesday when she invited us for lunch but otherwise didn't know her.

On day one, we sat around and talked and then sat around and ate and drank a couple of glasses of wine and talked some more. Riki cooked us a yummy dinner of Lancashire hotpot.

Day two, Riki took her mum to see her dad at the hospital, then we all (including a friend Mary-anne) all met at aa local club for lunch. Riki's mum goes most Sundays for a little lunch and to play the pokies. I never play the pokies so was pretty happy to win $150.

After lunch, we took a tour of the town then visited Mary-anne for a great afternoon tea-prawns and a bottle of wine, then home where Russ cooked us all dinner.

It was a lovely time and just amazing how well we got on. I think we'll be going back.

Yesterday we left Riki's and moved on to Tewantin which is just outside Noosa. It's been 4 years since we were here last and it felt to be back. It feels like a holiday within a holiday. The park is small with tiny sites and quite expensive, but a unit would be much dearer and we are quite close to the river and shops.

We went fishing today on the Noosa River and caught a few fish, but only brought one bream home.
