Father's Day / Circus Quirkus

It's Father's Day here - I realised I am a chip off the old block when I got a bucket of Liquorice Allsorts - that was always the go-to present for my Dad 👦



It was a pretty good day. One advantage of being a 'cancer family' is that we get given free stuff - Caleb picked up tickets to 'Circus Quirkus' at the Brisbane Convention Centre, so me and the other kids went this afternoon.

It wasn't quite what I expected, but it was fairly entertaining - and good value for free 👦 There were only six people involved - an MC/ventriloquist/comedian, a clown, a juggler, two gymnastic type ladies and a 'generalist' lady. The last was probably the best - she did an encore which included lying on a special table on her back and juggling 5 large balls with her feet, followed by juggling a table (with her feet) and then stacking 7 suitcases (with her feet). Pretty impressive stuff. Some fairly terrible photos below...




Joshua still seems to be doing OK. He hasn't needed any anaesthetic mouthwash today and is still eating well. When we came back from the circus he and Libby met us half way from the bus station, Joshua having decided he wanted to go for a walk - which was quite an encouraging sign. Thanks for your continuing prayers. If we manage to keep him out of hospital until Tuesday, I think prayer will be a major contributing factor!
