I visited
I have finally flown to Queensland to visit mum. Last time we were together she really ruined the trip. For examples of that, all you have to do is read my journal. The main reason why Sam & I went to Queensland was really more because our bestfriends had their first child born. In saying that, it was a long time oversue for me to see my mum. It’s been since 2009 since we saw eachother.
We stayed at her place for most of the trip. She introduced us to her new boyfriend. Although, she has apparently been with him for a year now. She mentioned that he was nervous of meeting me. I heard that he was shy but nothing could prefer me to our first meeting. I put out my hand to shake and he couldn’t even look me in the eye. That to me was a bad indication. I cannot stand it when people don’t look me in the eye. He bearly said anything and didn’t ask antying about Sam & I. I wasn’t even trying for a conversation really and the conversation was mostly carried by my husband. Thanks Sam :)
They took us out for dinner that first time (Sam paid sneakily), and I was making conversation and asked Barry how he met my mother. He made some noises and then my mother started answering the question for him. I heard her story before, so I interupted her saying “I was asking Barry”. But he said he would rather not answer it. Then my mum starting going on about how her friend Garry was asking him a lot of questions as well. No idea, but I thought when you don’t know a lot about someone you would generally engage in a conversation about them. Who knows, maybe I’m wrong.
Anyway in the 2 weeks that we were in Queensland we really enjoyed it. We caught up with our friends and Sam’s family and spent time with my mum. She really was a good host. She behaved really well. But I do appreciate living in Sydney and having that buffer zone. Although Sam and I plan to fly up more often from now on. Queensland is really a lovely place.
