We took ourselves out for lunch at Ladybird, an Asian-fusion restaurant in the former Palazzo Versace building, now the Imperial Hotel. The venue and service were excellent, but the food only good as rated by us. We drove there but could have caught hopo, the Gold Coast ferry service.
After lunch, we walked around the shops in Marina Mirage. This shopping centre struggles to attract customers and several shops have closed. A major revamp is planned for the venue. While there are plenty of Christmas decorations, there were very few customers.
Bluey knew we were going out today, but doesn’t hold a grudge, and gave us a great welcome home.
Tilly has kept close to me all day. When we were dealing with the super-excited Bluey, she showed off running upside down around the bottom of our mattress. She was on top of my garage shelves and snuggled down in my study.
