Apart from the Brisbane Book Fair (see next post below), the weekend was filled with lots of other nice things. Our friend, Keith from Sydney, arrived Saturday afternoon and stayed until mid-morning Monday. Keith is the partner of Jay, who died earlier this year, and for whom Steve and I planted a tibouchina, a few weeks ago. We enjoyed some wine time in the hot tub, a perfectly roasted leg of lamb and veges courtesy of Julia, and a dvd in front of the fire on Saturday night, while Sunday night was much the same except Steve's green chicken curry replaced the leg of lamb. Great company, great food, great wine and a couple of great movies.
The weather was a tad iffy over much of the weekend up here but it was fine for much of Sunday and we took advantage of this to take Keith to the Channon Markets on Sunday morning, which is always great fun. We bought a kaffir lime tree and a fabulous ginger plant, and then headed to The Channon Tavern for a tasty burger and beer battered chips for a lite lunch (not).
Then this morning, after a delicious brunch of poached eggs, asparagus and hollandaise sauce, Keith headed off to Southport to spend time with his brother, while Steve went back to making costumes for Phantom of the Opera, Julia finalising a car deal, and I to faff about a bit. Such is life at Larnook. By my count, Keith was our 17th visitor to stay with us at Larnook since January. Love it!
