Holidays. Plan your day around food. And why not. Today it was the grocery shopping, and lunch. And the plan was a Mexican restaurant over on the Isle of Capri. We were there a few months ago and it was very nice.
Ah, the Gold Coast. There one day, gone the next. No Mexican restaurant, empty-ish shop instead. That's not uncommon I guess. At least the supermarket was still there.
We switched to the seafood restaurant overlooking the canal.

Funny thing about this now 'ritzy' shopping centre is that when we first moved to the Coast back in the seventies, it was just an ordinary little shopping centre; mum worked in the doctor's surgery and we made our way there every day after school and hung around until she finished. Sometimes I had hockey practice across the road and the one-time mayor and local member for Surfers Paradise, Sir Bruce Small had his offices there.
Mum and I reflected on the history here today in between courses. The more things change...etc and so forth.
