First stop - Boondall

Hi Peeps!

Boondall station is fast approaching. I mean I have parked here a few times to go to the Entertainment Centre. We had a personal meet and greet with The Wiggles (Originals) including Captain Feather-sword. But no swash buckling pirates in Boondall; just 3 cats. The owners are off to Europe and 😻😹🙀 and I are finding our feet.

Last weekend, I decided to go for a run and explore. I found a nice little Indian store - technically in Zillmere but hey it is 2km away. Samosa and a sweet treat were on the menu. The shop girls helped me choose some spices as a welcome gift for a friend's Mum, who will soon arrive from Punjab. They were so helpful. Visit Zillmere Indian Groceries for some yummy homemade treats or spices.

On the way back I stopped for rice paper rolls at Bahn Mi Factory. Unofficially the best Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. They have one in Newstead and Zillmere. They make their own bread.

After enjoying my food I napped. Yes, napped. Can't remember the last time my body let me rest during the day. I doozed on the couch with 😻. We are best buds. 😹 only have one eye and no tail. They are all rescue cats. Sad to think this little creature has know a lot of pain. But Bondall owners are kind and caring. The house is so clean. It won't be returned in exactly the same manner. I will try. I am here for a month. The train is refueling and were will be our next adventure.

Packing starts tomorrow of my old home. Taxi Boxes arrive and your possessions get locked away and stored. Fingers crossed for more house sits to pop up.

Love Ro

Packing Day

Image
Hello Peeps! Well, we are on the move again. We moved into our new home in 2022, a nice little place that I was able to buy after my financial separation. It is very small for me and the Cheeky Monkey's to live in and it was probably time to move but ...... I decided to rent the place out and look for something for us to rent. Thank goodness for S&P, we have moved in with them whilst we are finding something. The rental market is ridiculous but I can not complain as I have a roof over my head. I could be living in a tent on the foreshore. Yes, that is a huge thing in the area we live in. Many tents by the beach due to homelessness and housing crisis. Photo Credit - Moreton Bay Council That is one of the reasons I am housesitting to explore new areas and also not enough rooms in S&P's place. They would have squished me in but it is time for some me time. Anyway back to packing. I had to hire Taxi Boxes because there is no storage available. Another shortage! I paid some ...

Ro's in the wild again

Hi Peeps! Well, it has only taken about 4 years of thinking and no doing but now feels right. I love to write and share my adventures. I started this a few years back just on my Facebook page when I started solo travel. I got lots of comments and people told me they were waiting for my next posts. However, I mainly did it for me. A way to recall all my adventures and activities and wait each year for those Facebook memories to pop up. The idea of this blog is similar. I am about to embark on more adventures (I hope the English teachers reading this recognise the foreshadowing😉). Yes, I am still in Oz but I am embarking on some home adventures before I head overseas again. "Why be boring at home ?" she says. Speaking of English teachers, I am not one! I teach Business and Maths and have had to teach English and Humanities. If you like a blog with no grammar issues or proper sentence structure please move on. Don't troll me; just forget you once read a post with comma'...

Fortitude Valley - Day vs Night

Image
Dear Peeps, I was lucky to spend two nights at FV Peppers, in Fortitude Valley (FV). For those of you who don't know , The Valley is very close to Brisbane City Centre and is the night club precinct. A girlfriend and I shared the cost of the room for one night and as a treat to myself, I had the first night on my own. FV Peppers is amazing. Worth every penny to spoil yourself. You can hire out the private spa room or go to the roof top pool and spa. I took myself on a date to the spa room and just enjoyed the water and view. Here are some photos of some iconic buildings in Brunswick Street Mall. On the Saturday, we went to Enigma, which is a night club. It holds an over 30s disco every few months from 3 - 8pm, playing 80s and 90s music. We had a blast. We wore our sparkles and danced the night away. The other regular site in FV is homeless people. My grandfather always advised me to give food to the homeless, never money. If that is right or wrong I don't know. I spoke to Jazz,...
