Drove up Mount Tambourine today and stumbled upon @polishplacetamborine for #coffee #cake and #lorikeets
Had a lovely time yesterday, we went for a swim and spa (after using the gym and where we are staying); later went to the movies - watched Top Gun Maverick - a great movie!
And afterwards found a locals hangout #foodmarket called the @miamimarketta with live music, food stalls and bars. Here we are sitting on old #Victorian era couches, while having a #gincocktail each! #cheers

It's been a busy couple of days. Hubby and I should have been home by late Sunday night, however, we had to cancel our flight home to Melbourne due to my FIL suddenly being admitted to emergency gall bladder surgery. We were in Brisbane Sunday and borrowed a friend's car. I had to drive to the Gold Coast to drop off the hire car, while hubby drove the borrowed car (another hire car was not available). We then drove down the coast - 4+ hours to Coffs Harbour hospital and then staying at the late grandmother's very old home. Today, between hospital visits, we walked at #sawtell , then upto #muttonbird #island #lookout which is VERY STEEP. Unfortunately, my #foot (the problem one) wasn't upto the #incline just yet and it's #swollen up, #bruised and hard to walk on. I was in pain after I reached the top and found it extremely hard to walk back down
First 2 - Sawtell, Then me sitting (while hubby takes a phone call) and rubbing the ankle. Next video - upon descent a #rat (not #scared , it was #cute

Life always throws you a #curveball 😭
I may have #torn my #achilliestendon and been hobbling around back and forth from the Dr to an #imaging place to be told they can't scan or #xray (was literally hopping and using the building walls for support, while men and onlookers just watched 🤬). I've now got a ultrasound at 2pm today.
So I drove home and will get a daughter to drive me back into town.
Meanwhile, I've got to cater for my 3rd daughter's 21st birthday party tomorrow 😳
At least I found another fantastic use for my @9roundpakenham #handwraps to hold the #icepack onto my #calfmuscle
Very upset if I can't train again either 😭😭😭😭😭

An update regarding my #leftleg.
Almost two weeks ago while on our trip away (see older posts). Although the views were #spectacular at Muttonbird Island Reserve (top images not mine as it was quite overcast as you can see from the bottom left image), we did see #dolphins and #rats on our walk, however walking up 45 #metres was definitely not a good idea for one that's had previous #anklesurgery .
After I got to the top I was in lots of pain, but I had to walk down (the car was also a while away, so I waited for hubby to collect me after he made it back to the car).
Long story short, after a week at home and two sessions back at my gym and with a sore ankle still; I knew to not run, jump or do anything stupid on it), I then felt a #rubberband like #snapping sensation and instant pain in my calf.
