Weekend break!

As Cameron, Obama, Putin, Joko Widodo and others arrive in Brisbane we have escaped to New South Wales and are down on the Clarence with Trace and Jen.It would seem that the rest of Brisbane had the same idea...today was a special G20 holiday and all the Brisbane schools were shut along with lots of other public services......(no showers as Blue Care don't really care about hygiene when it comes to holidays).....the road south was packed and we crawled for miles and  the journey took us over 4 and a half hours almost double the usual time it should take.The Mayor of Brisbane, Graham Quirk, is shouting 'We are open for business!' but no one wants to negotiate all the road closures in the city so there has been a mass exodus. The city shops will probably not have a good weekend. It will probably look like a ghost town on the news.There are barricades up with plexi-glass walls and eggs and kites have been banned! Barack Obama's people even wanted a roundabout demolished so that his motorcade would not have to slow down. Graham Quirk, who looks like he is related to Shanita and would also never deign to frighten a goose, found some balls from somewhere and said 'No!'Wendi is looking after Dulcie for the weekend.There is also a heatwave due this weekend with temperatures predicted to hit 40 degrees...hopefully it will be cooler here with the river breezes.We are off to the beach tomorrow for a dip....Great White Sharks permitting.
