A Small Boating Expedition
Went out on my dad’s boat weekend just gone. There wasn’t any real point to the trip; just to get out and get some fresh air, spend some time with some quality people, and give the boat a bit of a run. Although the morning got off to a slow start for some; with Bruce getting up at some crazy hour around 7AM to make it to my place on time for us to leave in an early fashion that never eventuated, we had some breakfast at the local Coffe Club, then headed back home to collect Brett, after which we collected some supplies for lunch, whereupon I was utterly confused by the ancient ATM facilities and the purchase requests of some people…
That was a long sentence!

We had a good run across Deception Bay and into Pumicestone passage; it was a little choppy on the way over, with a moderate breeze churning up the water. Dad’s boat handled it beautifully…
This is an old photo, but it illustrates my point
Whence we reached Pumicestone passage, we motored along a short while to the jetty at Bribie Island, whereupon dad dropped us off for a few minutes so we could buy some ice cream!
On the way back, Bruce had a go at captaining the bridge, and well enjoyed himself:
It was an excellent day!
No commentsCupcake Mondays
Ah, I love Cupcake Mondays. Last night I headed over to the girls’ place, and was treated to beautiful cupcakes. Beautiful, wonderful cupcakes. They were so good. If I hadn’t eaten them, I’m sure I would’ve moved to Texas and married them. They were most satisfying; exquisite, wonderful, incredible. When I buy food, I expect it to taste a lot better than anything I’ve made myself. Although I obviously didn’t make these cupcakes, I expected them to taste about as good as any other home-made food; good, but, not prepared by a professional, so understandably not amazing.
Oh how wrong I was with Annie’s cupcakes.
They’re even beautifully presented!
There were three types. Lavender cupcakes, which I wasn’t a fan of. They tasted like the scent. My brain was confused, it kept saying to me, “you’re supposed to smell lavender, not eat it!”, plus they were quite strong. I’m not accustomed to powerfully tasteful food.
The other two… ohhh… there was a passionfruit cupcake, the beige coloured one, which as far as I can tell was a slightly passionfruity cake, with wonderful passionfruit icing, and a strawberry to top it off. The icing was amazing. It had all the sweetness of icing sugar, but carried with it the strong conviction of being wonderfully passionfruit flavoured. It was incredibly good. The third, was a sort of mudcake cake, but inside it contained cream and wonderfully prepared rasberries, which.. oh my goodness, they were incredible too. I couldn’t believe how good these two were, they were great!
Annie makes awesome 
cupcakes. Bruce approves.
