I am not sure if I am on a new day or an old day! But I will continue along until I get to the end of the pictures anyways.... My sister in law Kaye is VERY artys and craftsy. Something that my mother is as well and I do not have one single bone of arts and crafts in my body, and quite truthfully, the tediousness of being precise would drive me straight up the wall really quickly!~
Anyways, Kaye does these intricately designed and folded cards that she sells at markets...
Mom thought they were perfect Australian Souvenirs, grabbed a few, wrote them out and before you could say lickedy split had a stamp on them and in the Oz post office. We had a dinner out the very aptly and British Sounding SLUG AND LETTUCE.
This was a dinner with a lot of the cousins and nieces and nephews, always fun! It was good, my father was happily eating beef schnitzel with gravy and did not have to suffer through another rocket salad cuz he could find nothing to eat!!
Seemed like there was a lot of rules though for going out for dinner!!!
This is Bazza and his mother one more time. I never can get over how similar they look!
My parents and I were thrilled to see this "thing" on the road. I believe it was called a Skag something. Apparently they bite. And there is quite a dance you do to confuse them so you can pick them up that Bazza says he was much faster at when he was younger! We were amused watching the performance though and god knows none of the three of us were going near picking it up! Nice to tour Australia with an Aussie to find out all these little thins!!
Went down by the water in Adelaide. took a picture of an old anchor. Of course. Boaty people that we are!
And, birds in the tree...
Bazza says that this water tower looked exactly like this when he first came to Australia...when he was about 8! He was surprised that it still looked the same...
The rest of us just loved this "house on top of a house" there were birds living in it so maybe it was just a large bird house??? Ambitious anyways.
Tomorrows blog has some of the prettiest scenery. We went quite far out into the plains and took some great pictures....
