Leaky Boat

Noah’s ark has sprung a bit of a leak this week! It was cruising well up till Friday evening – then there was a delivery of cheese, biscuits and nibblies, Saturday morning there was BBQ breakfast, lunch out on Saturday, more of the cheese biscuit thing on Saturday night then the hangover cures on Sunday of potato chips (for salt) and hot chips (for grease)!!! Actually it sounds dreadful but probably wasn’t all that bad and I can honestly say that as of yesterday morning I was right back on track.

I had a great weekend catching up with my friend and her family – hadn’t seen the middle son – now 26 and a dentist – since he was 15! Then there was the new grandson to admire and also their house renovations to see. Unfortunately Shaz was sick and so cancelled out on Friday morning so I went on my own anyway.

Friday night A and I just had a couple of drinks and dinner at her place and caught up. Saturday morning we went out to her daughter and son in laws farm for breakfast, then the two of us went to a lovely local restaurant for lunch. There I was trying to make good choices wherever possible so I ordered a prawn and calamari salad with the coriander and ginger dressing on the side. It was delivered exactly like that – only problem was that the prawns and calamari were done tempura style – and there had been absolutely no mention of that on the menu. Anyway I ate and enjoyed. Then around 3.30pm we went to the Food and Wine festival – actually there’s not really anything exciting in the way of food – we had taken our own nibblies of which I ate far too many, then I started to eat a baked potato which was raw in the middle so I took it back got my money refunded and didn’t bother buying anything else. After the festival finished we ended up in the local RSL club and danced the night away. Sunday morning neither of us were too bright but a couple panadols helped and I left around 10am for the drive home. I stopped a couple of times when I craved some salty food and got home around 2pm – then had to have a wee sleep!

Not much else in the way of news this week – I’m at work so don’t have my updated picture chart – I’ll put it all on next week when I tell you how it all panned out.

Someone sent me the cartoon below and knowing how many of us in blogworld are struggling with 'The Poz', I thought I'd share it with you.



Now here's A and I at the restaurant having lunch - we're toasting poor sick Shaz here



And this is me with A's son, son in law and grandson - all happy chappies by this stage!



I’m kind of struggling with blogging at the moment, life seems to have taken over a bit and I just don’t have the time or energy or even inclination to post or comment much, although I do try and catch up with all your news. Please be patient with me – I’ll probably just dip in and out for the time being till I get back in my usual groove again.

Take care possums
