August Begins

Hows everyone's week been going?  Nine days of August have passed on by and our temperature started to increase during the sunlight hours.  We had beautiful sunshine weather for the past week which is a good time to spring clean in some areas.  But I was more interested in sorting out afew boxes from upstairs because I was seeking something to use last week.

This week was a good time to get myself motivated to get back into a regular walk routine again.  I tried to walk twice a day at sunrise and about half an hour or so before sunset.  Our early mornings are still abit chilling but it's nice to go walking at that time without feeling so hot (like summer).

Brisbane Ekka started on Thursday.  At this point we aren't planning on going to the EKKA.  It gets too costly to go every year.  For one adult it costs $28 at the entry gate and that does not include any rides.  For a family of four it would cost $65 entry, add food to eat, showbags and afew rides, half your weekly wage would be gone.

There are two public holidays for next week for Brisbane Ekka. Logan has their day off on Monday while Brisbane has their day off on Wednesday.  Students used to had two days off school in the same week but the education department put a stop on student free days in August. But seriously do we really need a public holiday for EKKA?  The Brisbane EKKA goes for ten days and I am sure alot of people have the time to go if they wish to go anyday of the ten day event without having a public holiday for the carnival.

Enjoy your weekend!
