Brisbane and the Gold Coast for Christmas 2023.

I have just spent the christmas break on the Gold Coast where I stayed with relatives. On Christmas day we had a pool party at Emerald lakes. I cannot show any of my photos as I left my camera back on the Gold Coast. I will show a few as they become available.

A small car accident

Today was a bitter sweet day. I booked a flight to Brisbane at Christmas time and later in the day I had a small car accident, I bumped into a ladies car, but thankfully, there were no injuries. There was not much damage done thankfully. I hope it works out for the best.

Christmas carols at Connect Church Bendigo

Over the last two nights, Connect Church Bendigo hosted our annual Christmas carols services. They were entitled Wonder at Connect. I really loved both services. The church put on a great show as usual. Here are a few of the photos that I took. Enjoy...

Visiting Eddy's garage at Eddington.

This afternoon, I joined with other members of my church for a lunch at a place called Eddy's Garage, which ia located outside Eddington in Victoria. It is a small restaurant on the way to Maryborough. It has a very kitsch decor with lots of 1960's and 1970's memorabillia. It was an unusaul but fun place to visit. I had not been to Maryborough for many years and I certainly enjoyed the drive and the experience.

Hey hey we're the monkeys.............

Slightly sore leg

I have suddenly develop a very sore left leg. I have nice big red sore just there. I do not know how it got there but it just appeared. I had to go to the Bendigo hospital, where they kept me in overnight and put me on a course of antibiotics. I hope the problem clears up soon.

Visiting a mansion at Golden Glades

Today, I visited what is probably the coolest house in Bendigo. It is a very large house in Strathdale and was open for inspection. I have been wanting to see just what was it like on the inside for a long time and I was very impressed. It has several bedrooms and bathrooms as well as an indoor pool and billiards room as well as a large garage. It retails for nearly $3,000,000.00. I was very impressed. At this stage, I am not sure if I will ever be able to afford it, but let's keep hoping. It was well worth a visit.
