It’s Sunday

Day 13
Or
It’s Sunday.

It’s hard sometimes to get out of bed in the morning.

This was one of those days.

We haven’t been staying up late or anything.

It’s just the heat and the walking. Oh yes loads of walking.

Twev and Nicola took us out to dinner last night. It was a Chinese, but one that has an Aussie equivalent of a Michelin star.

4 starters, 4 mains, and add a couple of bottles of vino, £136 or so.

The food was very good, as was the service, if not a bit patchy.

The meals were completely different from the way we get them at home.

King Prawns and garlic is what it says on the tin. Just the garlic butter and prawns, beef in back bean sauce, delicious and served with bak choi. The sauce was clinging to the meat, and the veg served on the side.

That sort of thing.

This morning we decided to have a fry up, as it had gone midday, and we were not eating till about four or five. I barbied sausages, bacon, tomato and eggs outside and we feasted.

A trip around the bay to the home of two of Twevs friends for late late lunch. Scott and Lisa have two lovely daughters, Ellie 9 and Maddi 12. A boxer dog with attitude, potentially, and a lovely home.

They took us for a walk around Williamstown, their home suburb.

A lovely gesture, even though it was trying to rain. Scott pointed out places of interest, it must have been great growing up in this locality.

There’s a link here to the town http://www.williamstowninfo.com.au/if you need to know more.

Back home to their place, where after a fine lunch of barbied leg of lamb, veg, roasties, and salad.

I showed the wee ones our house on Google earth. They weren’t impressed so I went back outdoors and had some more fine Aussie ale.

We said our goodbyes, and drove off into a cloudy evening.

Today was our third attempt to do the balloon flight, and guess what? Yep, cancelled again.

We’re just going to get a refund and buy Marg some frocks instead.

That’s all for this time.
