On day 5 of unexpected no-school days, I took my “going mad because of the boredom” daughter to The Big Shops today. Seems like everyone else in #Brisbane had gone to the shops as well today. My goodness.
The Starbucks (I know) had told the mobile app that it wasn’t open, because it had limited supplies of stuff and I guess it was too complicated to tell the system what it had and what it didn’t. Nice workaround.
Random store closures in The Big Shops - because of staff shortages, I’m assuming.
Still, it was nice to get out for the first time in a number of days.
I then went for a walk with the (water-loving) dog, armed with the garden brush to get all the leaves off the drains and make sure they were all free-flowing, which was excellently satisfying for everyone except the dog, who would have preferred to have had more walking and less waiting.
Hoping to make it to the regular coffee shop tomorrow, if it hasn’t been flooded out.
