Last Thursday we dragged a very excited Scarlett out of nursery school early so we could jump in a taxi to the airport to fly to Queensland to see the Duthies of Brisbane. Scarlett was sooooo excited about the prospect of a taxi ride, never mind the plane, you'd think we didn't have a car. She spent most of the day before rearranging furniture to resemble her version of a plane with seats for her and Flo. It was refreshing to see nature (or was it nurture?) take over when Scarlett instinctively popped the airline sick bag on her head once on board, something Rob and I have amused ourselves with for years. As always, a visit to Craig and Lynda's is all about lots of laughing, talking, drinking and eating. We hardly ever even leave their house, why would we? They have a beer fridge and a pool. Scarlett would leave the pool for necessary breaks such as eating and sleeping, but pretty much stayed in there the rest of the time. We managed a break to vote in our new prime minister on Saturday and a visit to a local winery in the afternoon. A winery in Queensland? I know, that's what I said. Scarlett followed Nicole and Ryan everywhere during the brief moments she wasn't in the pool, insisting that they sit with her at all meal times and car trips, and Florence had her first laundry tub bath, something Scarlett didn't want to miss out on either. The weather was perfect, the company peerless and Florence slept like the perfect Gina Ford baby despite the hour time difference.
