Mystery Monday - C'Mon Feel The Noise....How Do You Deal With It?

Naughty Noise Makers And What Should I Do?

Well, we all have those scenarios with anything from the irritating idiot with the leaf blower that seems to go for 8 hours on a Sunday to the neighbors who wanna Rock And Roll all Night and Party Every Day, as Kiss would say.

We even used to have neighbours who's fights used to comprise of him ripping the security gate from the front of his property with his bare hands when locked out by the wife, and starting up a chainsaw at 2 am to gain access - no joke, and it wasn't "Spittle County" either - affluent neighbourhood....bags not confronting HIM!

Bearing in mind that once you start something with a neighbour (work or home) it can get really unattractive very fast, so think long and hard about how to complain about dear little "Precious" who barks from the second Mummy leaves for work to the second she gets home and then dons his halo....who knows, maybe our own pets do the same thing when we are out? Eek!

Sometimes the direct approach works and other times it becomes WW III and you live in horror until someone sells....the mere thought of Precious wearing one of those citronella collars, you philistines!

The link below at least gives you a place to start, so have a hunt around and then make your decision - should we speak, forever hold our peace, or dob anonymously....neither feels great, but at least you can make the decision with as much information at your finger tips as possible!

Serenity Sundays - Buderim Falls

Sneaky Piece Of Paradise In Buderim

Unbeknownst to many, there is a beautiful little slice of heaven in the middle of Buderim, known as Buderim Forest Waterfall.
 
It sits within a 45 hectare park, and the boardwalk is wheelchair friendly (about 600m), if you have someone who would like a mini-fix of tranquility?

Foodie Friday - Juan Fifty

Mexican In Our Hood!

From the crew who brought us the Good Bar at Mooloolaba, we have a cool Mexican hangout at our fingertips!

Now this is no formal, stuffy restaurant where you sit around waiting to catch the waiters eye for a drink or to order, rather you can go up and order as you go.....this is a good idea for when you are not sure how full you will get (food or drinks ha), so you can sample, experiment etc.

The most wonderful part is that when you go up to order, rather than the face like a dropped pie (or punched pillow) that we see far too much of these days, it seems to be the order of the day to give the customer a big smile, and make whatever cocktail or drink they order to perfection! Who'd a thunk that service and smiles might make a comeback??? Wow!

Evidence of smiling team from their Facebook page :)

The food is closer to traditional Mexican and pretty healthy frankly (not drowned in cheese and sour cream), although they make a subtle appearance. The ingredients are all freshly chopped, and seem to suit all levels of endurance when it comes to chilli or hot food.

 

The reason for this is their secret weapon - the wall of sauces! Make sure when you order that you do a 180 and check it out on the case behind you......this is serious chilli/sauce heaven, so you can add your own (or not if you can't hack it).

The beer drinkers will also be pleasantly surprised by the prices - similar to surf/bowls club prices, which include some basic Aussie and also some great craft beers - hard to find both in the same spot for some reason - this way EVERYONE can enjoy a cold beer at the same place!

Get behind this one crew, we don't want to lose them and have to listen to ourselves whining about "where did it go"! Bel x
