We've been really busy this week. Hanno's had a couple of health issues and had to go for an unexpected checkup with his eye specialist. The doctor uncovered a problem, a retinal vein occlusion, and did an operation on the spot. As I'm writing this, he's visiting his GP because of high blood pressure. Hopefully, there will be an easy solution for that too.
We sold our car and bought a new (to us) car. It took a lot of reading to work out the best car for us at this stage of life. Luckily, we sold our car on Monday and bought our new car yesterday, which involved a trip to Brisbane. Not my favourite thing but we ended up driving out of the car yard with our new car, which Hanno drove back home while I followed him in our old car. The new owners will pick it up today.
Today I'll do some housekeeping and gardening that I missed during the week and I'm looking forward to a drive in the new car and a rest over the weekend. Our COVID restrictions are easing so Shane went back to work on Wednesday. Kerry has continued to open his sushi shop all through the lockdown so they're both happy that work and travel are starting up again in our state. By the way, if you're coming to the Sunshine Coast soon, Shane is the head chef at Noosa Reef Hotel and Kerry's shop - BHappy Sushi, is on the beach at 1 Mooloolaba Esplanade, Mooloolaba, right next to the surf club. Both of them serve excellent food.
I hope you're doing well during the lockdown and you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. If not, hold on and keep yourself and your family safe until the restrictions start to lift. It won't last forever.
Take care, friends, and enjoy the weekend.
