After a lovely 6 and a half weeks in the UK over July and August, our oldest girl has the National Clubs Carnival for gymnastics in just over 2 weeks.

So a week in the Gold Coast, watching gymnastics and the rest of the time at the beach...

I should be able to struggle through it.

Bit of an update on this, they did go on a run and made the big dance, and won the flag as massive underdogs, Unfortunately my lad played the first 2 finals and then got dropped for the Prelim/GF, pretty tough for him but that's footy. He still buttered up and trained as hard as he could, was a good team man, ran water, was given a medal and did an all nighter celebrating getting home at 8am, 3 hours sleep and then off with me to the SANFL GF for more beers.

Resilience is a very under rated tool in today's society and Im very proud he has plenty of it, very comforting as a parent.

Agreed.

Seeing your kids succeed is a great thing, but seeing them handle adversity and come out of it as stronger people is next level.

Are you doing it as the extra course or instead of the steak?

Has the highway reopened (I was there in August and still pretty restricted)?

Instead of the steak,
apparently the road is fine now, a few roadworks here & there still, if it gets too difficult I might have to stop off at Ellis beach for a frothy or 2 :D :D

China’s ban on Australian lobsters will be dropped by the end of the year, the last major sanction on Aussie produce to be dumped in the wake of the trade war ignited during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emerged from meetings with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Laos on Thursday to announce the ban on the $700 million industry would be ended in the coming months.

The ban on lobsters was the last major trade hurdle remaining with China, following the dropping of restrictions on other Aussie produce like barley and wine, with Mr Albanese saying the trade impediments added up to $20 billion in value.

“I’m pleased to announce that Premier Li and I have agreed on a timetable to resume full lobster trade by the end of this year,” Mr Albanese said following their meetings, adding the ban would be dropped in time for Chinese New Year.

China banned lobsters as part of a trade war arising with Australia during the Covid pandemic in 2020 after then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison called for an inquiry into the virus’ origins.

Mr Albanese said he also raised “the full range of regional and international security issues, including our concerns about any destabilising actions in the South China Sea, and about China’s recent missile ballistic test.”

His comments came in the wake of the Philippines accusing China’s coast guard of spraying water cannons at government vessels earlier this week in the disputed South China Sea, while China also launched a missile from a base in the Pacific in September.

“So much international trade goes through the South China Sea, and we need to have military to military engagement and co-operation and dialogue to avoid any misadventure,” he said.

The Prime Minister, in Laos’ capital of Vientiane for the ASEAN summit of south-east Asian leaders, also met on Thursday with his New Zealand and French counterparts, Chris Luxon and Justin Trudeau, with the conflict surrounding Israel, Palestine and Gaza discussed.

Knocking off early today and going to spend the weekend at Lake Bonney, must admit that I've never been there before.
