Back to School and Rainy Days

We booked in some courses for next week with Tina and I both getting our RSA, RSG and Bar certificates hopefully we will be able to get some bar work further up the coast when we get to the Whit Sunday region. We are also going to get our Blue cards which you need to work on any building, construction or road work site. We may get a traffic controllers certificate as well.
A drive out to Wendy’s house in morning and a chance for Nan to catch up with her Great Great Grandchildren Jake & Riley. In the afternoon we walked down to Wynnum Vikings AFL club to watch a game of footy. It looked all over at quarter time with Wynnum down 9 goals to 1. At ¾ time they had only narrowed the deficit down to 32 points and a win never looked possible. But footy is a funny game and they kicked 10 goals to 1 in the last quarter leaving the locals in a frenzy. A great game and cheap beers made for a good afternoon not to mention the 5km walk.
We did some serious exercise today power walking down to the footy club & back as well as some, running. I hope we pull up OK tomorrow.
Our first night of the bar & Hospitality course at the Newnham Hotel. It has been a while since we did any learning but it was good. It started to rain tonight and they are expecting big rains this week.
They weren’t joking when the said rain it wasn’t that heavy but it rained all day. We took Nan to the doctor and shopping. My back has been holding up really well until the other day when I pulled that shoulder blade area of my back. I contacted Rob in Adelaide and he put me onto a Chiro in Wynnum who did a great job in popping my back into place.
Our second night of the course in Uniform, & learning how to pour beers. It is now pissing down an the drive home is a bit scary on all the unlit highways with ongoing road works.
A pretty lazy day sitting around with the rain pouring down, we have had 200mm in Brisbane and 430mm at Bribe Island. Driving around in this is crazy and the new windscreen we got leaks so I had to take it back to get them to refit it.
Tonight’s course started with a test and then cocktail making. This was fun and we all got to make known cocktail as well as our own invention. We spent a lot of time behind the bar tonight and this was good experience.
