We drove to the Sunday markets at HOTA about 7 am. As we wandered around, we saw this stall holder trying to help very young curlew chicks up the steps while the parents were flapping their wings at him.



He managed to get both chicks onto the same step as the parents, but they probably wanted to go down the steps away from the market stalls. That would have been challenging with hundreds of people nearby, some with dogs. We didn’t wait to see which way they went.


Anita found foods to buy while I waited for our coffees. The benefit of going early was the easy parking and short waiting time for coffees.
Today was Bluey’s bath day. After suffering that event, he had to endure me trimming his claws and cutting fur from his paws.



We drove to the airport to pick up a friend. The traffic was slow on the Gold Coast Hwy because of roadworks for the light rail extension. The motorway route was slower because of major roadworks widening the road and building bridges.
For dinner, we returned to Ramen Bro with a couple of friends, who also enjoyed their meals.
